Range on Hammer of the Righteous?

[trophy]

The spell:

Hammer of the Righteous
6% of base mana Melee Range
Instant cast 6 sec cooldown
Requires One-Handed Melee Weapon
Hammer the current target and up to 2 additional nearby targets, causing 4 times your main hand damage per second as Holy damage.

Wowhead says it has a 5yd range (melee range) but that is what I am assuming to be the range of using it is but....

The question is, what does nearby targets exactly mean and what is that range?

You are right in that to use the spell you need to be within 5 yards of a target. However, one could assume that if a target is within 10 yards (the WW distance) of the mob you are targeting, they will also be hit.
