Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Three virtues have been granted to us over the people: the whole earth has been made a place of prayer for us, and its soil has been made a means of purification for us when we do not find water, and these verses have been given to me from the treasure chamber beneath the Throne—that is, the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. They were not given to anyone before me, nor will they be given to anyone after me.
