Hadith on Faith: Blessed is one who has faith without seeing him

Abdur Rahman al-Juhani reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of one who has faith in you, believes in you, and follows you, but never saw you?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “He is blessed. Again, he is blessed. Again, he is blessed.”
