نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ

وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الاَْرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا

وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَايِمُ

وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ

وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُبْعَثُ إِلى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً وَبُعِثْتُ إِلى النَّاسِ عَامَّة

I was given five things that no other Prophet before me was given.

I was aided with fear the distance of one month,

the earth was made a Masjid and clean place for me,

I was allowed war booty,

I was given the Intercession,

and Prophets used to be sent to their people, but I was sent to all mankind particularly.
