Hadith

Unauthentic reports regarding the birth of Hazrat Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Q: Recently I heard a bayaan that three things happened when our beloved Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was born.

1. He was born without an umbilical cord.

2. He was born without any blood stains on his body which usually is the case with every new born baby.

3. He was born with khatnah.

But he didn't mention any reference of Hadith. Before passing on this information to someone else, I would like to ask you if the above mentioned things are mentioned in the mubarak hadith's.

Hadith regarding preventing toddlers from attending the musjid

Q: Does the following Hadeeth have any weaknesses attached to it?

Wathila Ibn Al-Asqa' (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrates that the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "Keep away from your masjids your children, your lunatics, your buying, your selling, your disputes, raising your voices, implementation of your hudood and withdrawing of your swords. Make provision at its doors for fulfilling needs of purity; and perfume it with incense on Fridays." (Sunan Ibn Maaja, hadith 750)

If so, can it still be used for advising/preventing toddlers from coming to the masjid?

Mut'ah

Q: In Sahih Bukhari I read a hadith that Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) forbade mut'ah. And I also found a hadith that Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) allowed mut'ah in a battle.

So my question is, is mutah still halal in any case, if not then why? 

Meaning of the dua of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) about living poor

Q: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made dua: "O Allaah, cause me to live poor and cause me to die poor, and gather me among the poor on the Day of Resurrection". He (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also also said: "The poor will enter Jannah 500 years before the rich." However on the other hand, Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made dua: "O Allah give me the best of this world and the best of the hereafter," and they also said "Seek refuge with Allah from poverty, want and humiliation, and from wronging others or being wronged.

My question is that should we make dua from Allah to make us live poor and die poor so that we enter 500 years before the majority of the ummah?

Closing the doors and covering food at night

Q: I have a question about sunan actions to do in the evening. I know it is recommended to close the doors saying Bismillah, cover the food and drinks, turn off the fire for example in the stove or in the fireplace, when it falls in the evening.

But I have a practical doubt: doors should be closed BEFORE or AFTER the Maghrib time? And the food and the drinks should be closed BEFORE or AFTER the Maghrib time?

I ask this because on some sites I read conflicting versions, some say before, others later, others still say to do these actions after a portion of the night has passed. Maybe all these versions are right, but I do not know. Please clarify.
