Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, blessed is one who saw you and had faith in you.” The Prophet said, “Blessed are those who saw me and had faith in me. Blessed, again and again, are those who had faith in me and never saw me.”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ رَآكَ وَآمَنَ بِكَ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طُوبَى لِمَنْ رَآنِي وَآمَنَ بِي ثُمَّ طُوبَى ثُمَّ طُوبَى ثُمَّ طُوبَى لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَنِي
