Urine drops problem

Q:

1. Once after urinating some drops came and I touched it with my hand which was less than a dirham. At that time I assumed it to be water and ignored but now I think it was urine and with this same hand I touched the water bottle and I didn't wash it. Since then when I fill the bottle with cool water the outer portion also gets wet and my hand too, so was my hand najis all the time and I might have touched other objects after the hands got wet. I also might have prayed salaah in this way. Will my salah be valid? At that time the impurity was less than a dirham, but due to filling the water as the outer portion also gets wet, will the impurity spread and exceed the size of a dirham and make me najis as well?

2. I get a lot of waswasas about purity and about many other things. Please tell some effective ways to fight these waswasas. I try to ignore but I fail.

A:

1. Once you had made wudhu, the drop of urine in your hand would have been washed off. Hence the Salaah you performed thereafter will be considered valid.

2. Unless you are not certain, do not regard a thing to be impure.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
