Hadith 28:590
Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Bakr ibn Mudar narrated to us, from Ibn al-Had, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), in the year of the Battle of Tabuk, stood up at night to pray. A group of his companions gathered behind him to guard him. When he finished praying and turned to them, he said to them: "I have been given five things tonight that no one before me was given: As for me, I have been sent to all people in general, whereas those before me were only sent to their own people. I have been granted victory over the enemy through fear, and even if there were a month's journey between me and them, they would be filled with fear. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me to consume, whereas those before me considered consuming them a grave matter; they used to burn them. The earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me; wherever prayer overtakes me, I perform tayammum and pray, whereas those before me considered that a grave matter; they only used to pray in their churches and synagogues. And the fifth is what it is: It was said to me, 'Ask, for every prophet has asked.' So I delayed my request until the Day of Resurrection, and it is for you and for whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah."
حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا بكر بن مضر، عن ابن الهاد، عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن أبيه، عن جده، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عام غزوة تبوك قام من الليل يصلي، فاجتمع وراءه رجال من أصحابه يحرسونه، حتى إذا صلى وانصرف إليهم، فقال لهم: " لقد أعطيت الليلة خمسا، ما أعطيهن أحد قبلي: أما أنا فأرسلت إلى الناس كلهم عامة، وكان من قبلي إنما يرسل إلى قومه، ونصرت على العدو بالرعب، ولو كان بيني وبينهم مسيرة شهر لملئ منه رعبا، وأحلت لي الغنائم آكلها، وكان من قبلي يعظمون أكلها، كانوا يحرقونها، وجعلت لي الأرض مساجد وطهورا، أينما أدركتني الصلاة تمسحت وصليت، وكان من قبلي يعظمون ذلك، إنما كانوا يصلون في كنائسهم وبيعهم، والخامسة هي ما هي، قيل لي: سل فإن كل نبي قد سأل، فأخرت مسألتي إلى يوم القيامة، فهي لكم ولمن شهد أن لا إله إلا الله "
