122. In that while the heat of Hell will be in their graves at all times, but every morning and evening a reminder would be given to them about the fire of Hell until the Day of Judgement. By grave is meant the world of Barzakh.
From this emerge three issues
1 The punishment of the grave is a certainty
2 The punishment of the grave will not be inflicted by entering into Hell, but from far away through feeling the heat of Hell.
3 The reckoning of the grave is limited to matters of faith, but the reckoning of the Hereafter will be regarding both faith and deeds
Therefore, mention in the verse is made of that punishment, i.e. being reminded every day about Hell is prior to Hereafter, while being sent into Hell will be the Day of Judgement
123 On that day, the angels of punishment would be commanded openly
124 From this we learn that the punishment of the infidels would be taking a different form. The punishment for the obdurate infidels would be severe, while the punishment for less vehement infidels would be lighter, as understood from the word grievous

63. This verse is an express proof of the torment of barzakh, which has often been mentioned in the traditions as the torment of the grave. Allah here has in clear words mentioned two stages of the torment, a lesser torment, which is being given now to Pharaoh and his people before the coming of Resurrection, and it is, this that they are presented before the fire of Hell morning and evening, which strikes terror in their hearts and they see the Hell which they will have to enter ultimately. After this when Resurrection comes, they will be given the real and greater punishment which is destined for them, i.e. they will be hurled into the same Hell, which they are being made to witness since the time they were drowned till today, and will continue to witness it till the Hour of Resurrection. And such a treatment is not especially meant for Pharaoh and his people. All the culprits continue to witness the evil end, from the hour of death till Resurrection, which is awaiting them. On the other hand, the righteous people are made to see continually the pleasant picture of the good end, which Allah has gotten ready for them. A tradition has been related in Bukhari, Muslim, and Musnad Ahmad on the authority of Abdullah bin Umar, saying that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever from among you dies is shown his final resting place morning and evening continually, whether he be a dweller of Paradise or of Hell. It is said to him: This is the place which you will enter when Allah will raise you back to life on the Day of Resurrection and will call you into His presence. For further details, see (Surah Al-Anfaal, Ayat 50-51); (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 28-32); (Surah Al-Mominoon, Ayat 99-100) and the E.Ns thereof, and (Surah YaSeen, ayat 26-27) note 22,23.
