Did Abu Talib accept Islam?

Q: Why is there a lot of ikhtilaaf on the Imaan of Hazrat Abu Talib? Some say he is Kafir, some say Sahaabi and some say to keep queit about Hazrat Abu Talib?

My Question is that if a person like me who does not have much knowladge about Islam, by talking about Hazrat Abu Talib, will my Iman be snatched away? Is this a part of basic Aqeeda or Belief? Please Explain?

Authentication of a story

Q: I heard a story about a Sahaabiyah named Aslamiya. She was described as a person with medical knowledge learnt from her father and when she asked Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) if it was permissible for her to treat those in need, Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that it was indeed permissible. It was also stated that she trained a number of other women to do the same. I would just like to verify the authenticity of this story.

Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) differentiating between Muslims and non-Muslims

Q: I want to know about Hazrat Umar's (radhiyallahu anhu) pact which is given in Tafseer Ibn Kathir. It is mentioned that he made some conditions for Zimmis that they should not build any worshipping area and they should wear different clothes, etc. I read that some scholars don't think it is accurate. What is your stance?
