Q: Is there any authentic hadith from the books of hadith about: When throwing the first handful one should say, "Of this (i.e. the earth) We created you," and on the second one should say, "And to it shall We cause you to return," and on the third handful one should say, "And of it We shall cause you to be resurrected a second time. Please give me the references.
Q: I need to know the status of this oft-quoted hadeeth: " There is no better man than `Ali, and no sword better than Dhul-Faqar"
“An angel called Radwan announced from the Heavens in (the Battle of) Badr ‘No sword other than Dhu Al-Faqar and no man better than `Ali.’”
Please provide references from traditional scholars in order to convince lay people.
Q: Is the permissibility of giving salam to Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) on another persons behalf mentioned in any hadith?
Q: I was told that it was stated in a certain shaykhs bayaan that during the period when wahi was stopped, Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) became despondent and wanted to commit suicide. According to my (ignorant) knowledge, I can never associate the mubarak countenance of Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) with that of someone wanting to take his own life. Please clarify as the possibility of me being incorrect is very likely.
Q: I recently heard someone say that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) advised Muslims to change the clothes they'd worn during the course of the day for bedclothes when they retired at night. Is this true?
Q: I have a question regarding the appearance of the dajjal and shortage of food. In one report it says before his arrival, there will be shortage of food and drinks for 3 years (musnad ahmed).
However, in another hadith it says under the Mahdi, there shall be abundance of food to such an extent a man will say "mahdi, give me" and he shall reply "take it".
Now my confusion is that the dajjal is to emerge during the mahdi's time, so how to reconcile the two situations?
Q: Is it true that in the Hadith Allah Ta'ala curses women who ride horses? If yes, how authentic is the Hadith and what is the ruling of this Hadith according to the Fuqaha? What about ladies driving? Does this Hadith apply to them also here? (i.e. driving)
Q: A person asked the question, in the final hadeeth of bukhaari it says "kalimataani habeebataani...", so he wants to know if there's any special reason and purpose why "two words" was mentioned, and not 1 or 3+ words? I was unable to give an answer, can Mufti shed some light on it?
Q: The Hadith says that when you leave something for the sake of Allah then Allah will reward you with something better.
Question 1: Does this mean that if one leaves something e.g. sacrifices his home comfort etc. to go to the musjid or in the path of Allah etc., then as a reward, one will get better then what one has left behind?
Question 2: Does it refer to the case where one leaves something haraam e.g. a sinful deed or haraam food then in reward, one will get better than what one has sacrificed?
Question 3: What is the correct explanation of this Hadith?
Q: I was reading an article in which a Mufti Saheb was describing that there will be 313 people with Imaan of the Sahaaba who will take bay'at on Imaam Mahdi's hand, and one Aalim told me it is not like that. What does our pious ulema tell about this?
