أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" فُضِّلْتُ بِأَرْبَعٍ : جُعِلَتْ الْأَرْضُ لِأُمَّتِي مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا , وَأُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً , وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ شَهْرٍ يَسِيرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ , وَأُحِلَّتْ لِأُمَّتِي الْغَنَائِمُ " .
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: Allah Almighty has granted me 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; and 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.
