Beliefs Regarding Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) – Part Three
5. Allah Ta‘ala blessed Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with many special favours which other Ambiyaa and Rasuls (‘alaihimus salaam) were not granted. Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
“I was blessed with six favours that were not given to the other Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam); I was blessed with jawaami’ul kalim (comprehensive speech i.e. the Quraan Majeed and Mubaarak Ahaadith through which great meanings are contained in few words), I was divinely assisted with unusual awe entering the hearts of the kuffaar for me, even though I am a distance of a month’s journey away, the spoils of war were made permissible for me, the entire earth was made a place of performing salaah for me and the entire earth was made a source of purification (i.e. tayammum in the absence of water) for me, I was deputed as a messenger to the entire creation (man and jinn), and I was made the seal of all the prophets.” [1]
