Hadith regarding performing two rakaats salaah when entering and leaving one's home

Q: I came across a Hadith below showing that one should perform two rakaat salaah when entering one's home and when leaving one's home. Is the hadith authentic and can one practice upon it? 

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: 

“When you intend to leave your house you should offer two rak’ahs of [nafl]. These rak’ahs will protect you from an evil exit [harm] and when you enter your home you should offer two rak’ahs they will safeguard you from harm.” 

(Musnad Bazzar, Hadith: 8567)

Person's dua being rejected due to consuming haraam

Q: Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) mentioned [the case] of a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky saying “O Lord! O Lord!,” while his food is haraam (unlawful), his drink is haraam, his clothing is haraam, and he has been nourished with haraam, so how can [his supplication] be answered? 

Question: 

1. Does this hadith mean that it is "impossible" according to Islam that such a person's supplication (dua) will be accepted by Allah? 

2. According to Islam, can the supplications (dua) of such a person whose income, food, clothing are haraam be accepted by Allah, not because the person deserves to have his supplications (dua) accepted, rather due to Allah's infinite kindness, generosity, mercy?

Earning the reward of two accepted Hajj for one visiting Madinah Munawwarah after Hajj

Q: Is it permissible to quote the following Hadith regarding the virtue of visiting Madinah Munawwarah, “Whoever performs Hajj in Makkah, then he comes to (visit) me in my Musjid (in Madinah Munawwarah), then (the reward of) two accepted Hajj will be written for him”. I found this Hadith mentioned in Fazaail-e-Hajj of Hazrat Shaikul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahimahullah). Some people have mentioned to me that this Hadith is a fabrication.

Is being born on a certain day a sign of bad luck?

Q: As per Hadith no. 7054 narrated in Sahih Muslim "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labor (or hardship/displeasure) on Tuesday and He created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and He created Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday..." (Sahih Muslim)." 

As per this Hadith, on Tuesday things which are hated upon/unliked are created. So I want to ask, if one is born on Monday or Friday, are they considered to be lucky/blessed? Similarly, if a person who is born on Tuesday, is that person unlucky/unblessed or unliked in the sight of Allah who has to go through a hard life? 

Fabricated Hadith regarding the virtue of an Aalim

Q: Someone has mentioned to me that if an aalim passes by a qabrastaan, then the people that are going through difficulties in their graves will get a 40 day break from punishment. The person who told me this, said that this is a hadith. Is this true and is it really a hadith? Is there anything similar to this found anywhere? And what are the true virtues of an aalim?
