عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِي خَيْراً وَ فِي مَمَاتِي خَيْراً قَالَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا حَيَاتَكَ فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا فَمَا لَنَا فِي وَفَاتِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا فِي حَيَاتِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ أَمَّا فِي مَمَاتِي فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُكُمْ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ.
361. Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza and someone else, has reported the following: Abu Abdullah  says that the Rasool Allah ﷺ said: ‘There is goodness for you in my ﷺ being alive and goodness for you in my ﷺ passing away’. So they said, ‘O Rasool Allah ﷺ! As for your ﷺ being alive, so we have known that. So what is (goodness) for us in your ﷺ passing away?’ He ﷺ said: ‘As for my ﷺ being alive, so Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[8:33] But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them”. And as for my ﷺ passing away, your deeds would get presented to me ﷺ, so I ﷺ would be seeking Forgiveness for you’.
