It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been granted five such distinctions which were not given to anyone before me, and I do not say this out of pride: I have been sent to every red and black (i.e., to all mankind), I have been helped by awe (cast into the hearts of my enemies) from a distance of one month's journey, spoils of war have been made lawful for me whereas they were not made lawful for anyone before me, the entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me, and I have been granted the right of intercession which I have deferred for my Ummah until the Day of Resurrection, and it is for everyone who does not associate anything with Allah."
