5517. It was narrated from Sulaimân bin Yasâr that he heard Abû Hurairah say: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say in his supplication: 'Allâhumma, innî a'ûdhu bika min fitnatil-qabri, wa fitnatid-dajjâli, wa fitnatil-mahyâ wal-mamât (O Allâh, I seek refuge with You from the trial of the grave, and the tribulation of the Dajjâl, and the trials of life and death.)'" (Sahîh) Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: This is a mistake, and what is correct is "Sulaimân bin Sinân."
5515 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْمُقْرِيُّ، عَنْ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ»

If the punishment of the grave is separate from the trial of the grave, then the trial of the grave would be the questions of the angels, and the punishment of the grave means that punishment, which is meted out to the disbelievers and the hypocrites, after their interrogation by the angels. We seek refuge in Allāh from it. Taking refuge from the questioning of the angels means 'I might be able to answer them rightly and might emerge triumphant from this test'.
