Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been given five things which were not given to anyone before me: the entire earth has been made a place of prayer and a means of purification for me, I have been helped through awe, spoils of war have been made lawful for me, I have been sent to every white and black (i.e., all of mankind), and I have been granted intercession."
