Hadith question

Q: Are the following Hadiths a fabrication or are they authentic? Please also provide a reference.

1. "Rajab is Allah's month, Sha'baan is my month and Ramadaan is the month of my Ummah."

2. "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave."

A:

1. We have not come across this hadeeth.

2. This is not a Hadith, rather it is the statement of some of the salaf (pious predecessors).

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