It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Abdul Rahman al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at them and said: "Are they from the tribe of Madhhij or from the tribe of Kindah?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, they are Kindis (of the tribe of Kindah)." So the two of them came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were indeed Kindis. One of them said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a person who followed the law you brought and affirmed you, though he did not see you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tuba lahu (lofty ranks and glad tidings are for him)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "Tuba lahu (lofty ranks and glad tidings are for him)."
Sayyiduna Abu Abdul Rahman al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: We were present in the blessed company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly two riders appeared. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he said: "These are Kindis and Madhhijis." When they arrived, it turned out that both were men of the tribe of Madhhij. One of them came near him (peace and blessings be upon him) to give the pledge of allegiance, and when he took his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand he said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a person who believed in you, affirmed you and followed you completely, what reward and rank is there for him? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tuba lahu (glad tidings and a station in Paradise are for him)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand kindly over the man's hand and the man departed. Then the second man came forward and, taking his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand to give the pledge of allegiance, said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a person who believed in you, affirmed you and followed you, but did not see you (with his physical eyes)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tuba lahu (glad tidings and lofty ranks are for him)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over his hand, and he too went back.
