Hadith

Q: It is reported in Sahih Muslim #2556 that "The severer would not enter Paradise". Ibn Umar said that Sufyan (explained it as): "One who severs the tie of kinship would not enter Paradise"

I would like to know 2 things from the above hadith:

1. Does the above hadith talk about blood relationship like your parents, siblings or does it include your relatives like cousins, uncles, etc.

2. Does the above mean a person will never enter paradise if he severs the tie of kinship?

Q: What is the explanation of the following hadeeth الولد سر ابيه

Q: There was a message going around on Aashurah day that read as follows: Zainul Aabideen is reported to have said that whoever reads the following duaa between sunrise and sunset on Aashurah will not die the following year, meaning this is a guarantee for his life for a year. And if a person is to die co incidentallly he will not read this duaa. And there was a long duaa mentioned after. Is there any authenticity to this?

Q: Is this a real hadith - A man sees a strange woman and sleeps with his wife?

Q: I read this Hadith:

“O Allaah’s Messenger! Where was our Lord before He created the heavens and earth?” He (salallaahu `alaihi wasallam) responded: “He was above the [white] clouds – no air was under him, no air was above him, and He created His Throne upon the water.”

Is it correct that we don’t have to take the first part (He was above the (white) clouds) literally because attributing a direction to Allah is kufr?

Q: I have heard in a Pakistani Islamic show that not all hafiz e Quran will be rewarded with the power of bakhshish of 10 people in their family, only those who live their life according to Islam after hifz. Those huffaz who do wrong things will be equally asked like other people and they will not have power of bakhsish of 10 people. Is this correct?

Q: What status does hadith have in Islam? Does one only follow the Quraan? Why? What is the daleel?

Q: I wanted to know that if this Hadith talks about every kind of evil unwanted thoughts that come into mind and a person resists it or just related to religion?

Narrates Abdullah bin Abbas that, once, a person came to the Prophet and said, “Sometimes such wicked ideas come to my mind that I would prefer to be burnt down and reduced to charcoal than to give utterance to them.” The Prophet replied, “Praise be to Allah who turned back the matter towards thought sentiment.”

Q: I would like to act on the hadith on eating 7 'Ajwah dates in the morning for protection against magic and poison. Different qualities of Ajwah are however sold, the best quality being more than twice the price of the lowest quality (which are thin and dry). Would seven dates of any quality give the protection mentioned in the hadith? Or would I have to eat more than 7 of a cheap quality?

Q: There is a hadith in Sunan an Nasai #5731.

So if I see small bubbles on the sides of tea and milk is it not allowed? Furthermore, there was a freshly squeezed juice of peaches and it had thick foam on top, what is the ruling?
