With the chain of Abu Ya'la it is reported that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Glad tidings (tuba) to the one who saw me and believed in me, and glad tidings seven times to the one who believed in me without having seen me."
Ahmad recorded it. Abu Ya'la's chain is hasan (good), as has preceded, and Ahmad's chain contains a narrator, Jisr, and he is da'if (weak).
