Verification of Ahaadith on fasting in the month of Muharram

Q: Why mostly hanafi people, mostly their scholars spread moudoo hadith? Like fast in month of Muharram which is equal to a month? They quote this hadith:

وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم من صام يوم عرفة كان له كفارة سنتين ومن صام يوما من المحرم فله بكل يوم ثلاثون يوما (مجمع الزوائد رقم 5244).

Which is moudoo and they also tell to do masah of side of neck so that you may not be shackled on day of qayammah which again is moudoo and they say it is sunnah. I think they should fear God and do not twist the deen as Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said

وَشَرَّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ وَكُلَّ ضَلاَلَةٍ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ

Doing any new deed which is not proved from sunnah or Sahabah will make them suffer hell fire.

Explanation of a Hadith

Q: I've came across this Hadith:

Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) reported: A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and when they were admitted, they said, “Death be upon you!” I said to them, “Rather, death and the curse of Allah be upon you!” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “O Aisha, Allah is kind and he loves kindness in all matters.” I said, “Have you not heard what they said?” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “I said to them: And upon you.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6528, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2165

What does the last sentence mean (and upon you?). Does this mean death and curse of Allah be upon those Jews?

Explanation of a Hadith

Q: Please explain this hadith. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira (radhiyallahu anhu) and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ibn Hatim Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said: When any one of you fights with his brother, he should avoid his face for Allah created Adam in His own image.

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ، حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا قَاتَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَجْتَنِبِ الْوَجْهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Verification of a narration

Q: I read this somewhere:

Marne wale ko ru-ba-qibla (Qibla-rukh) karo (uska chehra aur dono qadmo'n ke talwe Qible ki taraf kiye jaayein). Jab aisa karoge to Malaika uski taraf mutawajjeh honge aur Khuda bhi uski taraf mutawajjeh hoga (uspar Rehmat naazil karega) aur jab tak uski Ruuh qabz na ho jaaye wo barabar usi haalat mein rahe (taaki Khuda aur Uske Malaaika ki tawajjoh ka markaz bana rahe).

Is there any such Hadith like this or is it fabricated by Shia.
