Authentication
Disbelievers in the time of Nabi Nooh (alaihis salaam) afflicted with a skin disease
Q: I want to know if this is authentic:
When Nooh (alaihis salaam) was building his ark then the disbelievers came and defecated on the ship. Allah Ta'ala sent a certain skin disease upon these people which they had no cure for. So one disbeliever with the disease slips near the ship and falls into the faeces then realizes he has been cured. All disbelievers then came and cleaned the ship by applying all the faeces to their own bodies.

Authenticity of the Hadith, "Ikhtilaaf of the Ulama is rahmat"
Q: Some of the Ulama from Deoband consider animated pictures as permissible and other Ulama are totally opposite to that extent that they declared it haraam. I have heard that "Ulama ka ikhtalif rehmat hai".
Will I be sinful if I follow the Ulama who regard animated pictures as permissible?

Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) taking an oath that he will not have relations with Maria Qibtia (radhiyallahu anha)
Q: There are some ahaadeeth like the one quoted by Maulana Maududi which states that the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had intercourse with Maria Qibtia (radhiyallahu anha) and he then swore never to have intercourse with her after facing pressure from Hazrat Ayesha and Hamza (radhiyallahu anhuma)... Is it true?
Virtue of fasting in Rajab
Q: An uncle told me that “… if you fast in rajab Allah Ta'ala on the day of judgment will give you a drink from His own hands from the river of Rajab which is whiter than milk sweeter than honey…”
I did some research and didn’t find any Hadith claiming this and I found out that there isn’t any evidence to back there being a specific reward for fasting during Rajab. I didn’t respond to his text to avoid trouble. My family is South Asian and bidah/cultural practices are rife.
