Authentication of a Hadith

Q: Kindly inform me if the following is authentic : In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam, do not fear those who have authority over you as long as My authority is enduring, and My authority never runs out. O son of Adam, do not be afraid of a tight livelihood when My treasuries are full and My treasuries never run out. O son of Adam, do not ask anybody else except Me and I am yours, and when you ask Me you find Me; but if you ignore Me, I will turn away from you, and you will miss the whole good. O son of Adam, I have created you to worship Me, not to play, and I ensured your sustenance so that you do not torment yourself (by worrying about it — let the physical parts of your body work but your heart and mind be in peace by putting your trust in God). I swear in My Power and Might, if you’re satisfied with what I apportioned for you, I will give your mind and body peace, but if you will not be satisfied with what I apportioned for you, I swear in My Power and Might, I will make you run after the world like the beasts run in the wild, then you will have nothing except what I had apportioned to you, and you have been disgraced. O son of Adam, the creation of the seven heavens and the earth did not fatigue Me, will passing you a loaf of bread cause Me to tire. O son of Adam, I did not forget whoever disobeys Me; how will I forget whoever obeys Me, and I am a Merciful Lord, and I have power over all things? O son of Adam, do not ask Me the sustenance of tomorrow as I did not ask you the work of tomorrow. O son of Adam, I love you so it is My Right that you love Me.

Drinking from a bottle

Q: Did the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) say that if you drink from a bottle or a container, you will get poor. e.g. If I am the only one going to be drinking from a 2 liter bottle and no one is going to be drinking after me, is this a hadith?

Translating the Hadith incorrectly

Q: I came across a hadith muttafaqun alay about the slandering on Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha), after that it was said that the behaviour of Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) towards Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) changed and he used to say 'how is that one?' which hurts Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) very much, when she didn't know about her accusation.

Can you please explain to me why would Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) have uttered these statement and what does it really mean? It is confusing me very much.

Hadith verification

Q: I just wanted to know the actual hadith and the reference. They were both in regards to the ummah being forgiven.

1st Hadith more or less - our Beloved Master Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was travelling and near the outskirts of Madina made dua 3 times and fell into sujood 3 times - was informed each time 1/3 of the ummah was forgiven each time.

2nd Hadith, the Beloved Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was told He would be very pleased with how Allah Ta'ala will treat the ummah on that day.

Verification of a Hadith

Q: Can you please tell me about the dua here and if it is found in any trusted hadith or in Quran -

Allaahumma yaa Raabba Ibraahemaa yaa Moasa wa rabba Ishaaqa wa Yaaqooba wa Rabba Jibreela wa Rabba Mikaàeela waa Rabba Israafeela wa Rabba munaz zilut Tawraata wal Injeela waz Zaboora wal Furqaanal Aazeem arini fi manaami ma fihil khaairaatu.

And also the meaning of this line Nabba aniyaal Aaleemul khabeer. Thank you and may Allah bless you. If it is bad or misleading please also tell.

Doubts regarding a Hadith

Q: I have a question. There is a hadith that a sinful woman got Jannah because she quenched a dog's thirst. Now my question is today, so many kafir people are donating money and we heard about the hardwork of Florance nightingale and Mother Teresa. What about them? We didn't hear that she used to worship Allah or repent. So what is the objective of this hadith? Even if someone is kafir or dont pray would they have hope to get Jannah?

Hadith explanation

Q: I have three questions:

1. Our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said like this that to say If I did this that could happen theses types of sayings is shaitans words. But why its said that if you do this, this will happen such as  if I have a simple niqah it will be full of baraqah. Then when someone doesn't have a simple wedding and doesn't have baraqah.. Can't we say that if they had a simple wedding they would have baraqah? Why is it?

2. There's a hadith that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)'s time there used to be beggars who had money but yet they used to beg, Prophet (pbuh) said that it would bring them jahannam but He used to give them money as Allah didn't like misery for him. Nowadays there is a business of begging, when someone is begging we feel that they are related to business. If we give them money isn't it promoting the business? Whom should we give money to? If someone asks can we reject them?

3. Is working in credit debit section in bank haram? If my husband works in it what can I do as a wife?

Explanation of a Hadith

Q: Is this hadeeth saheeh, and what does it mean: “Do not write anything from me, and whoever writes anything but the Qur’aan, let him erase it”? Also Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anhu) at one point was not sure whether to keep what he knows of hadiths or not. He had collected 500 hadiths during very long companionship with the prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), but he could not sleep the night until he burned them”. Could you please explain this to me.
