Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I have been given five things which were not given to anyone before me. I have been helped by awe (cast into the hearts of my enemies) from a distance of one month’s journey. The entire earth has been made a place of prayer and a means of purification for me. So, any member of my Ummah who finds the time for prayer should pray wherever he is. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were not made lawful for anyone before me. I have been granted intercession. Every prophet was sent exclusively to his own people, but I have been sent to all mankind.”

Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Four things have been granted to me which were not granted to anyone before us. I asked my Lord for a fifth thing, and He granted that to me as well. Previously, a prophet would be sent specifically to his own community, and he would not go beyond that community, but I have been sent to all of mankind. Our enemy is struck with awe from a distance of a month's journey. The entire earth has been made a means of purification and a place of prayer for me. The spoils of war (khums) have been made lawful for us, which were not lawful for anyone before us. And I asked my Lord for a fifth thing: I requested that any individual from my Ummah who appears before Him while affirming His Oneness, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise, and Allah granted me this as well."
