question #1 Sahih Muslim 921a, Book 11, Hadith 10 : What is the significance of the eyes remaining open at the time of death in Islamic teachings?

Did you not see when the man died and his eyes were fixedly open? He (Abu Huraira) said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is due to the fact that when (the soul leaves the body) his eyesight follows the soul.
