Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I have been given five things that were not given to anyone before me: the whole earth has been made for me a means of purification and a place of prayer; the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were not lawful for any prophet before me; I have been helped against my enemy by awe from a distance of a month; I have been sent to every fair-skinned and dark-skinned person; and I have been given the intercession, and it will reach every individual of my Ummah who does not associate anything with Allah." In one narration the wording is: "Whoever dies in a state in which he does not associate anything with Allah." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Imam Abu Dawud has recorded a part of this narration.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Some hadiths of this kind have already passed in the chapter on tayammum.
