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.

Unauthentic narration regarding qaza namaaz

Q: I saw a picture in which there was a hadeeth. The hadeeth mentioned that if a person has many qaza namaaz and he does not know how many qaza namaaz he has then he should perform a 4 rakat nafal namaaz with 1 salam on the last jumuah in Ramadhan. He should just read surah fatiha then 7 times ayatul kursi and 15 times surah kothar. All the qaza namaaz will be done after this 4 rakat nafal namaaz. Is it true?

Authenticity of a Hadith on rainwater treatment

Q: I just want to verify the authenticity of a hadith on rainwater treatment:

Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that Jibareel (alaihis salaam) taught me a remedy that obviates the need for any medicine or physician.

Recite 70 times on rain water, Surah Faatiha, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq & Surah Naas.

Drink for seven days, morning and evening. Whoever drinks it Allah will eliminate all sicknesses and pain. Whoever gives it to a woman before sleeping with her, she will, by the permission of Allah, fall pregnant. It cures the eyes, eliminates sihr, toothache, urine stoppage, etc.

Authenticity of a dua to be recited on Aashuraa

Q: There was a message going around on Aashurah day that read as follows: Zainul Aabideen is reported to have said that whoever reads the following duaa between sunrise and sunset on Aashurah will not die the following year, meaning this is a guarantee for his life for a year. And if a person is to die co incidentallly he will not read this duaa. And there was a long duaa mentioned after. Is there any authenticity to this?

Incident of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and an old lady

Q: Is this story true....One day Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was going somewhere at noon and it was too hot in the desert when He (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) saw an old woman carrying her luggage on her head. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) helped her and took the luggage from the woman and carried it for her. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked the woman where she was going and why? She said that I am leaving this town as I have heard that a magician named Muhammad (nauzubillah)... etc...

1. Is it true because I have heard that it's not mentioned in authentic hadith? Also on youtube this story is a nasheed sung by someone...nasheeds name is likha ha ek zaifa thi...

2. Is listening to it permissible or am I sinning by listening to this?
