Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RAA):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given five things which were not given to anyone else before me. Allah made me victorious by awe (of frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. The earth has been made for me (and my followers) a place for praying and something with which to perform Tayammum (to purify oneself for prayer). Therefore, anyone (of my followers) can pray (anywhere) and at any time that the Salat (prayer) is due."
In another narration by Hudhaifah (RAA): "And the soil of the earth had been made for us as a means with which to purify ourselves (for prayer), when we cannot find water."
