Hadith 763

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُعْطِيتُ مَا لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ " ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : " نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ ، وَأُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الْأَرْضِ ، وَسُمِّيتُ أَحْمَدَ ، وَجُعِلَ التُّرَابُ لِي طَهُورًا ، وَجُعِلَتْ أُمَّتِي خَيْرَ الْأُمَمِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been given some things which were not given to any prophet before me." I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What are those things? He said: "I have been helped through awe, the treasures of the earth have been given to me, my name has been kept Ahmad, soil has been made purifying for me like water, and my Ummah has been given the title of the best Ummah."
