Hadith 1427

أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُبْعَثُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً، وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْمَغَانِمُ، وَحُرِّمَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلِي، وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ طَيِّبَةً مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا، وَيَرْعَبُ مِنَّا عَدُوُّنَا مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ، وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ".
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Five things have been given to me which were not given to any prophet before me. The prophets used to be sent specifically to their own people, but I have been sent as a prophet to all mankind in general. Spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were forbidden to the prophets before me. The entire earth has been made pure, a place of prostration and purification for me. Awe has been cast into the hearts of our enemies to the distance of a month’s journey (that is, the enemy fears us from that far away). And intercession has been granted to me.”

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1426)

In this hadith, five special characteristics of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have been mentioned, due to which he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is distinguished among all the prophets. Allah Ta’ala instilled such awe of him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that even the greatest kings, sitting far away, would tremble merely upon hearing his sallallahu alayhi wa sallam’s name.

Kisra Parvez tore up the blessed letter of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; Allah Ta’ala, only a few days later, had his belly torn open by his own son Shiruya, and his kingdom was thrown into chaos and utterly destroyed.

Even now, this is the fate of the enemies of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: they die a humiliating death.
