The degree of authenticity of stories

circulated on the horrors of the grave

Q: There are widely circulated stories about the horrors of the grave, such as the story of the snake that came out of a grave when a man was to be buried in it, and when the man was buried in another grave, a snake came out of it again. [1]
A: Allah (Exalted be He) knows best. However, it is not improbable. In his book "Ahwal Al-Qubur (Horrors of the Graves)," Ibn Rajab mentioned some facts about such stories. Therefore, Allah (Exalted be He) knows best whether they are true or not.
