The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I have been given that which was not given to any of the other Prophet ﷺ.” We said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what is it? He said: “I have been supported (against the enemy) with fear, I have been given the keys of the Earth, I have been named Ahmad, the dust has been made a means of purification for me and my ummah has been made the best of nations.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 763)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُعْطِيتُ مَا لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقُلْنَا مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ وَأُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الْأَرْضِ وَسُمِّيتُ أَحْمَدَ وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ التُّرَابُ طَهُورًا وَجُعِلَتْ أُمَّتِي خَيْرَ الْأُمَمِ
