It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know whose faith is the most excellent among the people of faith?" The people said: O Messenger of Allah, the angels. He said: "They are indeed so, and that is their due. What could prevent them, when Allah has placed them in the station in which they are? Rather, someone other than them?" The people said: O Messenger of Allah, then the prophets, whom Allah honored with prophethood and messengership. He said: "They are indeed so, and that is their due. Rather, someone other than them." We said: O Messenger of Allah, then who are they? He said: "People who will come after me, (born) from the loins of men. They will believe in me though they have not seen me; they will find hanging pages (of the Qur'an and hadith) and act upon what is in them. These are the most excellent of the people of faith in faith." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was a Companion of the Messenger) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Glad tidings (Tuba) are for the one who saw me, and glad tidings are for the one who saw the one who saw me, and for the one who saw the one who saw the one who saw me and believed in me."
