Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 18486

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَامَ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي ، فَاجْتَمَعَ [ وَرَاءَهُ ] رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَحْرُسُونَهُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى [ وَ ] انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : " لَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ اللَّيْلَةَ خَمْسًا مَا أُعْطِيَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ عَامَّةً وَكَانَ مَنْ قَبْلِي إِنَّمَا يُرْسَلُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ وَنُصِرْتُ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ بِالرُّعْبِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ لَمُلِئَ مِنْهُ رُعْبًا وَأُحِلَّتْ لِي الْغَنَائِمُ آكُلُهَا وَكَانَ مَنْ قَبْلِي يُعَظِّمُونَ أَكْلَهَا ، كَانُوا يُحْرِقُونَهَا ، وَجُعِلَتْ لِي الْأَرْضُ مَسَاجِدَ وَطَهُورًا ، أَيْنَمَا أَدْرَكَتْنِي الصَّلَاةُ تَمَسَّحْتُ وَصَلَّيْتُ ، وَكَانَ مَنْ قَبْلِي يُعَظِّمُونَ ذَلِكَ ، إِنَّمَا كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِي كَنَائِسِهِمْ وَبِيَعِهِمْ ، وَالْخَامِسَةُ هِيَ مَا هِيَ ، قِيلَ لِي : سَلْ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ قَدْ سَأَلَ ، فَأَخَّرْتُ مَسْأَلَتِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيهِ ، فَهِيَ لَكُمْ ، وَلِمَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: In the year of the Battle of Tabuk, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at night to pray. Some men from among his Companions gathered behind him and began guarding him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished praying, after completing the prayer he turned towards them and said to them: "Tonight I have been given five things which were not given to anyone before me. As for myself, I have been sent to all of mankind in general, whereas the Prophets before me used to be sent to their own particular people. I have been helped against the enemy through awe, even if there is a month's journey between me and him (that is, the enemy), he would be filled with awe of me. It has been made lawful for me to eat the spoils of war, whereas the people before me considered eating them a grave (sin); they used to burn them. The whole earth has been made for me a place of prayer and a means of purification; wherever the time of prayer comes upon me, I can perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray, whereas the people before me considered that a grave (matter); they could only pray in their places of worship. And the fifth thing, how great it is! It was said to me: 'Ask! For every Prophet has asked.' (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) So I have deferred my request until the Day of Resurrection, and it (the request, in the form of intercession) will be for you and for everyone who testifies that there is no god but Allah."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
