Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Five things have been given to me which were not given to any prophet before me. The prophets used to be sent specifically to their own people, but I have been sent as a prophet to all mankind in general. Spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were forbidden to the prophets before me. The entire earth has been made pure, a place of prostration and purification for me. Awe has been cast into the hearts of our enemies to the distance of a month’s journey (that is, the enemy fears us from that far away). And intercession has been granted to me.”

Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The entire earth is a place of prostration (mosque) except for graveyards and bathhouses.”(That is, it is not permissible to pray in graveyards and bathhouses.) Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If someone prays in a graveyard, will his prayer be valid? He replied: If he prayed in a place where there was no grave, then the prayer will be valid, and he said: Most narrators have reported this hadith as mursal.
