Hadith

Q: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made dua: "O Allaah, cause me to live poor and cause me to die poor, and gather me among the poor on the Day of Resurrection". He (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also also said: "The poor will enter Jannah 500 years before the rich." However on the other hand, Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made dua: "O Allah give me the best of this world and the best of the hereafter," and they also said "Seek refuge with Allah from poverty, want and humiliation, and from wronging others or being wronged.

My question is that should we make dua from Allah to make us live poor and die poor so that we enter 500 years before the majority of the ummah?

Q: Does the hadith about the benefits/shifa of ajwa dates refer to only ajwa of Madinah Munawwarah or the ajwa of any place in the world, as they are now grown in other countries besides Saudi Arabia?

Q: I heard from Moulana Ebrahim Delva Saheb of India that "maal tho behtareen sahara hai " is it a hadith. Kindly verify and if this is any closer to a hadith.

Q: In a Hadith it is mentioned that when a person remembers Allah when entering the house, Shaytaan cannot enter. If a person merely says 'السلام عليكم' will this be counted as remembering Allah?

Q: Is it correct that if a person has a bad dream, then he should not tell anyone for 3 days, and why is this so? 

Q: I have a question about sunan actions to do in the evening. I know it is recommended to close the doors saying Bismillah, cover the food and drinks, turn off the fire for example in the stove or in the fireplace, when it falls in the evening.

But I have a practical doubt: doors should be closed BEFORE or AFTER the Maghrib time? And the food and the drinks should be closed BEFORE or AFTER the Maghrib time?

I ask this because on some sites I read conflicting versions, some say before, others later, others still say to do these actions after a portion of the night has passed. Maybe all these versions are right, but I do not know. Please clarify.

Q: There are many ahadith that speak about the person who is the best of Muslims. Can we summarize all of those ahadith and say that the best Muslim is the one who has the best character? Also who is this the best person according to the Quran?

Q: I saw a picture in which there was a hadeeth. The hadeeth mentioned that if a person has many qaza namaaz and he does not know how many qaza namaaz he has then he should perform a 4 rakat nafal namaaz with 1 salam on the last jumuah in Ramadhan. He should just read surah fatiha then 7 times ayatul kursi and 15 times surah kothar. All the qaza namaaz will be done after this 4 rakat nafal namaaz. Is it true?

Q: I just want to verify the authenticity of a hadith on rainwater treatment:

Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that Jibareel (alaihis salaam) taught me a remedy that obviates the need for any medicine or physician.

Recite 70 times on rain water, Surah Faatiha, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq & Surah Naas.

Drink for seven days, morning and evening. Whoever drinks it Allah will eliminate all sicknesses and pain. Whoever gives it to a woman before sleeping with her, she will, by the permission of Allah, fall pregnant. It cures the eyes, eliminates sihr, toothache, urine stoppage, etc.
