Hazrat Abu Saaed(Radhi AllahuAnhu) reports, once Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) came out and saw some people bursting with laughter so that their teeth became visible. Having seen their state, he remarked: “You must constantly remember death abundantly which curtails the taste of everything. Had you been doing so I would not have seen you in this state. Not a day passes by that the grave says: ‘I am the house of strangeness; I am the house of loneliness; and I am the house of insects.’” Thereafter he added: “When a Believer is buried, the grave addresses him, ‘Welcome home! In fact you were dear to me. Now when you have been consigned to me, you will see what good treatment you will receive from me.’ Thereafter the grave is widened and a gate of Heaven is flung open for you. When a transgressor or an unbeliever is buried, the grave admonishes him, ‘You are most unwelcome! You have come to a very bad abode, you were the most accursed. Now that you have been buried, you will see how I treat you.’ Thereafter, the grave squeezes him forcibly so that the ribs are broken.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) demonstrated this by inserting his fingers into each other.
