Losing one's wedding ring

Q: I am a married Muslim woman. I have lost my ring which I got as a gift on my nikaah from my husband just like an engagement ring for which I am very upset but people around me told us that losing your nikaah ring isn't a good sign for married life.

I am very much tensed and I wish that this is just a rumor, nothing else. Please tell me about it in the light of islam.

Obeying Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Q: Is it mentioned in the Quran that obeying the Messenger is obeying Allah? When I asked someone that who should we obey more, Allah or the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)? They said obeying The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the same as obeying Allah. Does it mean that we should equally obey them, wound we fall into shirk as we are obeying someone equally to Allah?
