Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: ایمان آوردن به کسی
I'm considering "to put faith on/toward someone" but it doesn't seem quite English (at least to me), do you have anything better or is that good enough?

Thank you in advance.

agree  Behnam Paran: "To put his faith in sb" is also correct, but I think "to believe in sb" is better in this context. It means both "ایمان آوردن" and "ایمان داشتن".▬▬►"Ali was the first man to believe/[put his faith] in the prophet."
