I have been commanded to fight the people until they profess there is no God but Allah

Q: Quite often in contemporary times various platforms on the internet like the one titled Answering Islam point out that islam is an intolerant religion and persecute followers of other faiths. To prove their point very often they use the Hadith: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they profess there is no God but Allah (Bukhari 385)." Can you kindly clarify the proper context and meaning of this hadith. The  negative understanding these anti Islamic forces imply use this particular hadith to good effect to prove their point.

40 Salaah in Musjid Nabawi

Q: I have come across a Hadith in Fazail Haj regarding the virtues of reading 40 Namazes in Musjid Nabawi,one attains freedom from hypocrisy, fire of hell & punishment. (Hadith No 7)

My question regarding this Hadith is:

  1. In order to receive these merits, is it a COMPULSORY CONDITION that these 40 Namazes be read in succession? Or is it just an encouragement? I have intention to first go to Medina for 3 days, go for Umra in between & return to Medina for 5 days!
  2. In order to receive these merits; does a person have to read ALL these Namazes with Takbeer Oola?
  3. Kindly define Takbeer Oola?
