Q: There is hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas (radhiyallahu anhu): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders. Grade: Hasan Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 2607 In-book reference: Book 15, Hadith 131
I travel alone for my college which is far, so what does this hadith mean?
Q: Some people say in Jannah women stay indoors and only men go out, they use hadith like this
1. Anas ibn Malik (radhiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, there is a market in paradise to which the men will come every Friday. The wind will scatter fragrance on their faces and clothes and will increase their excellence and beauty. They will return to their wives after having been increased in excellence and beauty and they will say: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! They will say them: by Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! Source: Saheeh Muslim 2833.
So the hadith makes it sound like women can't meet their daughters or adult sons.
2. And in ayah 55:70-72 Quraan it says that fair ones reserved in tents. How do we understand that because it makes it sound like women can't go out or meet families or female friends or adult sons.
3. Sahih Al-bukhari 3243 Narrated `Abdullah bin Qais al-Ash`ari (radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A tent (in paradise) is like a hollow pearl which is thirty miles in height and on every corner of the tent the men will have wives that cannot be seen by the others." (Narrated Abu `Imran in another narration, "The tent is sixty miles in height.")
The hadith says (wives don't see each other). Does this mean that the women of Jannah can't see and meet her family like her adult children and her mum and dad and her female friends because the hadith makes it sound like she will only see her husband. Because the reason I'm contacting is I love my mum and I want to meet her and be with her in Jannah if we both make it there.
Q: I am troubled by a comment someone has made to me regarding the Fazaail Aamaal. We grew up reading it, and so did this person. But now suddenly, through the influence of another person, this person says that Fazaail Aamaal is a "Tabligh kitaab" which is unreliable as it contains weak Ahaadith.
Can you please explain to me whether Fazaail Aamaal is a reliable kitaab or not.

Q: What's the ruling about extinguishing your lamps, how we understand it?
It was narrated from Jabir ibn `Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“When the wings of the night spread – or when evening comes – keep your children in, for the devils come out at that time. Then when part of the night has passed, let them go. And close the doors and mention the name of Allah, for the devil does not open a closed door. And tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allah, and cover your vessels and mention the name of Allah, even if you only put something over them, and extinguish your lamps.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 3280 and Muslim, 2012)
Q: What is the authenticity of the following Hadith?
