Tūbā (glad-tidings; specifically refers to a tree in Paradise) is for every servant who knows the people yet they do not know him, whom Allah Knows and is well-pleased with.  These are the niches of guidance and they emerge unscathed from every dark, blinding tribulation.

—’Alī b. Abī Ṭālib [d.40AH/661CE]
