The questioner : You are asking about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan an-Nasa'i 432Sahih (Darussalam), saying: What are the keys of the earth?
The Shaykh : The meaning of the keys of the earth is that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will decree victory for him until he possesses the keys of the earth, and the treasuries of the earth will be in his hand. This is what happened, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) conquered the cities of the Persians and the Romans at the hands of the Rightly Guided Caliphs who followed him, so he obtained the keys of the earth.
I have been supported with fear being struck into the hearts of my enemy for a distance of one month's travel; the earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me
