Fasting on the last and first day of the hijri year

Q: Please clarify if there is Hadith to fast on the last and first day of the hijri year. A pious person mentioned to me that in the book of Shaikh Abdul Qader Jilani (rahmatullah alayh), Ghunyat ul Talibeen, the Hadith is mentioned.

He sent me the picture of the Arabic book page with the Hadith, it is on page 90. I think it is not possible to make an attachment here.

Authenticity of the dua for Rajab and Shabaan

Q: I would like to know whether reciting the following famous Dua is Sunnah/Permissible/Bidah:

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ، وَبَلِّغْنَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ

Is there a strong command or a sign of permission from Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam regarding the recitation of this Dua in the months of Rajab and Shabaan?

Hadith regarding raisins being the cure for inferiority complex

Q: I read the following Hadith in a Tibb kitaab, however, the English translation of the last two words does not seem to be suitable. Please may the correct translation of the following be provided:

"Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) says that Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that those who take 21 raisins (الزبيب) daily will be free from all diseases which give rise to inferior complex. [Abu Nu-aim: 813]"

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.
