Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been granted five such distinctions that were not given to any prophet before me: I have been helped by awe and fear (cast into the hearts of the enemy), so that the enemy is overawed by me 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. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, whereas they were not lawful for any prophet before me. I have been sent as a messenger to all people, both red and black. I was told: Ask for whatever you wish, it will be granted to you, but I have reserved this supplication for intercession for my Ummah in the Hereafter. If Allah wills, anyone among you who does not associate partners with Allah will benefit from this supplication (intercession). A’mash, the narrator, says that Mujahid used to say: By "red and black," red refers to humans and black refers to jinn.
