Explanation
The meaning in a few plain lines
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that Allah granted him five privileges that none of the prophets before him had been granted.
First: I was made victorious through terror that was cast into my enemies' hearts, although a distance of one month's journey separated us.
Second: The earth has been made for us a place of worship where we can pray wherever we are, and it has been made for us a means of purification through dust when water is not an option.
Third: The spoils of war, which Muslims take during their war against the disbelievers, have been made lawful for us.
Fourth: I have been granted the major intercession to relieve people of the horror of the Day of Judgment.
Fifth: "I have been sent to all creation": mankind and jinn, unlike the prophets before him who were sent to their people only.
