Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Four things have been granted to me which were not granted to anyone before us. I asked my Lord for a fifth thing, and He granted that to me as well. Previously, a prophet would be sent specifically to his own community, and he would not go beyond that community, but I have been sent to all of mankind. Our enemy is struck with awe from a distance of a month's journey. The entire earth has been made a means of purification and a place of prayer for me. The spoils of war (khums) have been made lawful for us, which were not lawful for anyone before us. And I asked my Lord for a fifth thing: I requested that any individual from my Ummah who appears before Him while affirming His Oneness, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise, and Allah granted me this as well."
