Hadith 22137

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ , عَنْ سَيَّارٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " فَضَّلَنِي رَبِّي عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ , أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى الْأُمَمِ بِأَرْبَعٍ , قَالَ : أُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً , وَجُعِلَتْ الْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِي وَلِأُمَّتِي مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا , فَأَيْنَمَا أَدْرَكَتْ رَجُلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي الصَّلَاةُ فَعِنْدَهُ مَسْجِدُهُ , وَعِنْدَهُ طَهُورُهُ , وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ يَقْذِفُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ أَعْدَائِي , وَأَحَلَّ لَنَا الْغَنَائِمَ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been granted four virtues over all the prophets (peace be upon them) or nations: I have been sent to all of humanity; the entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me and my ummah, so wherever the time of prayer comes upon a member of my ummah, that place is his mosque and there is soil for his purification; I have been helped by awe (instilled) in the hearts of my enemies from a distance of one month's journey; and spoils of war have been made lawful for us.
