question #3 Sahih Muslim 921a, Book 11, Hadith 10 : What does Islamic belief say about the connection between the soul and the body at the moment of death?

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.
