Hadith

Explanation of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) going through difficulty when passing away

Q: Please explain the meanings of these Ahadith:

Hazrat Aisha narrates: “Having seen the agony the Prophet suffered while dying, I will not envy anyone’s easy death.” (Tirmidhi, Dead, 8).

In another narration, Hazrat Aisha said: “The Messenger of Allah died on my chest. Having seen it with the Messenger of Allah, I will not consider the severity of death bad for anyone.” (Nasai, Dead, 6).

Beating the duff in the musjid

Q: I came across this hadith: Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Proclaim the nikah. Have it done in the masjids. Beat the daffs (tambourine drums without jingling discs or bells) for the occasion.” (Tirmizi vol. 1 pg. 207 Qadeemi) So is it permissible to beat the daff in masjid?

Drinking rainwater

Q: According to a Hadith, rainwater is shifa for all diseases. Does this also apply to drinking rainwater which has been taken out from the ground? Because when it rains, the rainwater passes through rocks and is stored underground and taken out through machines for drinking. So is it necessary to collect and drink the rainwater before it falls to the ground or will the underground water also have the same benefits for Shifa?

Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu Anhu) wishing to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl

Q: There is a hadith about Fatima (radhiyallahu anha) being offended of Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) taking Abu Jahel's daughter as another wife. Is it because he was marrying a disbeliever or it's because of taking another wife besides her? And our Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)'s saying whatever troubles Fatima (radhiyallahu anha) also troubles him. Is it about taking another wife? What teachings should we get from this hadith?
