The Departure of the Believer's Soul and the Severity of the Agonies of Death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: It has been reported in an athar (report from a Companion or successor) that the soul of the believer exits like a drop from the mouth of a water skin. How is that, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), while in the agonies of death, said:
O Allah, ease for me the agonies of death?اللهم هون علي سترات الموت؟


Answer:
This is when it exits; it does not preclude the severity before that. Yes. Let it go.
