Q: A person has possession of some of my belongings. I have brought it to his attention but he denies it completely. I am 100% sure he has it.

Will this entering of his premises be regarded as tresspassing in Islam and will it be infringing on his privacy?
Q: The Sajdah in Surah Naml is normally made on completion of ayah 26 "Arsh il azeem" (as indicated in the Quraan shareef). According to fatwa hindiyya quoting Allamah Aini it says the sajdah must be made on completing ayah 25:9
وَالنَّمْلِ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ: {وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ} [النمل: 25]
My question based on the above is if a person made the sajdah e tilawat in salaah after ayah 25 instead of ayah 26 will this be regarded as an extra added to the salaah thus requiring the imaam to make a sajdah e sahw or will it be counted as the sajdah e tilawat.
