Q: I heard this from someone. Wanted to know if it is authentic

1. Imam Ahmed bin hambel said "tell your child to offer prayer and keep doing this for three days. If he doesn't listen, kill him on the 4th day.

2. Fold the ja-e-namaz/musalla/praying mat after you finish praying otherwise shaitaan comes and sits/prays on it.

Kya maut ke ba'd rooh 40 din tak ghar me aati jaati rehti hai?

Q:

1) Maine suna hai jab kisi ka inteqal ho jata hai to uski rooh 40 din tak ghar me aati jaati rehti hai ,isliye ghar me"arhar aur masoor ki daal" nahi pakni chahiye kyuki iske paakne se rooh ghar me nahi aati.Kya yeh sahi baat hai?

2) Jume ki raat ko roohe chode jaati hai aur wo apne bete aur betiyon ke ghar aati hai isliye "arhar aur masoor ki daal" nahi paakani chahiye kyuki isse roohe unke ghar nahi aati.

3)Roohe kin khane ki cheezo se ghar nahi aati?
