The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any prophet before me. I have been aided with terror, so that the enemy is struck with fear of me from a month's distance away. The earth has been made for me a place of prayer and a means of purification. War booty has been made lawful for me, though it was not lawful for anyone before me. I have been sent to both the Ahmar and the Aswad. And I was told, 'Ask, and you shall be granted.' So I have reserved my request as intercession for my community, and it will reach you, Allah willing, whoever among you meets Allah without associating anything with Him."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: أوتيت خمسا يؤ تهن نبي كان قبلي: نصرت بالرعب؛ فيرعب مني العدو مسيرة شهر، وجعلت لي الأرض مسجدا، وطهورا، وأحلت لي الغنائم ولم تحل لأحد كان قبلي، وبعثت إلى الأحمر والأسود، وقيل لي: سل تعطه، فاختبأنها شفاعة لأمتي، وهي نائلة منكم- إن شاء الله- من لقي الله لا يشرك به شيئا.
Imam Ahmad (21299) narrated it from Yaqub, who said, my father narrated to us, from Ibn Ishaq, who said, Sulayman Amash narrated to me, from Mujahid bin Jabr Abu Hajjaj, from Ubayd bin Umayr Laythi, from Abu Dharr, who said, and then he related it. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Muhammad bin Ishaq, who practiced tadlis, except that he explicitly stated "he narrated to me," and he was also corroborated by others.Bazzar, in Kashf Astar (3460), pointed to this narration of Amash but did not cite it in full. However, he did cite it through another route, from Shubah, from Wasil, meaning Ahdab, from Mujahid, from Abu Dharr, who said, and then he related it. Haythami said in Majma (10/371), "Bazzar narrated it with two hasan chains of transmission."Hakim also cited it (2/424) through another route from Abu Usama, who was asked about the words of Allah Almighty, "We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner" [Saba 34:28], and he replied, Amash narrated to us, with his chain of transmission, and related the same. Mujahid said, in explaining "the red and the black," that it means jinn and mankind.Hakim said, "It is sahih according to the standard of the two sheikhs, though they did not cite it with this wording, they only cited scattered phrases from the hadith."Abu Dawud also narrated it (489) through another route, from Jareer, from Amash, with his chain of transmission, in abbreviated form, with the wording, "The earth has been made for me a means of purification and a place of prayer."
