在穆斯林于麦加早期遭受最猛烈迫害与辱骂的时期,先知穆罕默德ﷺ始终坚定不移,向他的追随者传达真主的应许:伊斯兰将传遍全世界。塔米姆·达里(Tamīm al-Dārī)转述说,安拉的使者ﷺ曾说:"这件事必将抵达昼夜所及的每一个地方。"

Amidst the fiercest persecution and abuse that the Muslims faced in the earliest Meccan period, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم would stand without wavering and convey to his followers God’s promise of Islam spreading all over the world. Tamīm al-Dārī  reports that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day.

Allah will not leave a house of mud or even fur except that He will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored, and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and He will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”272 In another narration, reported by Thawbān, “Indeed, Allah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw its east and its west, and the dominion of my nation will indeed reach what was gathered up for me.”273 The fact that these predictions were made at a time when Muslims were a powerless handful, and Islam was expected to be buried in its cradle, is nothing short of miraculous. At that point, presuming that the faith would even survive would be considered by most to be a pipedream. That Islam would not just survive, but grow to thrive globally, was at that point inconceivable. We now find mosques on every inhabited continent, and even in remote places like Alaska and Hawaii. This truly complicates the argument that this hadith could have been fabricated after Islam had spread throughout the Mediterranean and Central Asia, considering it has spread so much farther since then. Translation: 真主不会让任何一间泥房或毛皮帐篷不被这一宗教所进入，借着它，尊贵者得到尊荣，卑贱者遭受羞辱。真主以伊斯兰使尊贵者尊荣，以信仰缺失使卑贱者蒙羞。”272 在另一段由萨望（Thawbān）传述的圣训中说：“真主确已为我收拢大地，使我看见了它的东方与西方，我的民族的统治必将到达为我所收拢的那些地方。”273 这些预言是在穆斯林人数寥寥、势单力薄，而伊斯兰似乎注定要夭折于其摇篮之中的时候作出的，这本身就堪称奇迹。在当时，大多数人会认为信仰能否存续都难以保证，更不必说发展壮大、遍及全球，在当时是难以想象的。如今，我们在每一个有人居住的大洲都能找到清真寺，甚至在阿拉斯加和夏威夷这样偏远的地方也有。这确实使“此圣训可能是在伊斯兰已传遍地中海地区和中亚之后伪造的”这一论点变得难以成立，因为伊斯兰此后的传播范围远比那更为广阔。
