Muhammad al Faatih

Q: My question pertains to Muhammad al Faatih. Most of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a believe that he was the blessed conqueror prophecised in the Hadith. However, some from the Salafiyyah at my Uni believe that he was not and the Hadith is referring to the Mahdi. In turn, they say some horrendous things against Muhamad al Faatih and incriminate him with incest, drinking and other Kaba'ir. These Salafi's are doing a lot of damage to the Muslims at my campus. A Shaikh once told me that there is Ijma' of the scholars that Muhammad al Faatih was the conqueror of Constantinople that was referred to in the Hadith. Can I please request as many references to scholars and citations of consensus that Muhammad al Faatih was in fact the one Prophecised in the Hadith? This will help me alleviate the confusion and doubts that the Salafis are imbuing in the minds of the Muslims.

Nikaah of Hazrat Khadija (Radiyallahu Anha)

Q: Someone asked me a question that the way we make nikaah and paying mahr this is the according sharia and sunnah, but before Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was given nabuwat Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) made his nikah with mother Khadijah (Radiyallahu Anha), so in which way did Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) make nikah with mother Khadijah (Radiyallahu Anha)? The same way nowadays we make nikah or there was another system before hijrat?
