Hadith

Q: Is this a real hadith - A man sees a strange woman and sleeps with his wife?

Q: I read this Hadith:

“O Allaah’s Messenger! Where was our Lord before He created the heavens and earth?” He (salallaahu `alaihi wasallam) responded: “He was above the [white] clouds – no air was under him, no air was above him, and He created His Throne upon the water.”

Is it correct that we don’t have to take the first part (He was above the (white) clouds) literally because attributing a direction to Allah is kufr?

Q: I have heard in a Pakistani Islamic show that not all hafiz e Quran will be rewarded with the power of bakhshish of 10 people in their family, only those who live their life according to Islam after hifz. Those huffaz who do wrong things will be equally asked like other people and they will not have power of bakhsish of 10 people. Is this correct?

Q: What status does hadith have in Islam? Does one only follow the Quraan? Why? What is the daleel?

Q: I wanted to know that if this Hadith talks about every kind of evil unwanted thoughts that come into mind and a person resists it or just related to religion?

Narrates Abdullah bin Abbas that, once, a person came to the Prophet and said, “Sometimes such wicked ideas come to my mind that I would prefer to be burnt down and reduced to charcoal than to give utterance to them.” The Prophet replied, “Praise be to Allah who turned back the matter towards thought sentiment.”

Q: I would like to act on the hadith on eating 7 'Ajwah dates in the morning for protection against magic and poison. Different qualities of Ajwah are however sold, the best quality being more than twice the price of the lowest quality (which are thin and dry). Would seven dates of any quality give the protection mentioned in the hadith? Or would I have to eat more than 7 of a cheap quality?

Q: There is a hadith in Sunan an Nasai #5731.

So if I see small bubbles on the sides of tea and milk is it not allowed? Furthermore, there was a freshly squeezed juice of peaches and it had thick foam on top, what is the ruling?

Q: Is the following hadith sound?

"The first time period of a prescribed prayer is a means of attaining the consent of Allah and the last time period for the forgiveness of Allah."

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?

Q: Can you please explain this hadith (2nd last hadith of Bukhari): Is this talking about Qaris from Egypt like Abdul Basit? What does this hadith mean?

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible). The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards and their heads). (Fath-ul-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)
