Wearing a turban

Q: In the Ahaadith what are the virtues mentioned with regards to wearing a turban? Was it a perpetual Sunnah of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)? Will a person get seventy times more reward if he performs salaah with a turban?

Reciting منها خلقناكم when throwing sand in the grave

Q: Is there any authentic hadith from the books of hadith about: When throwing the first handful one should say, "Of this (i.e. the earth) We created you," and on the second one should say, "And to it shall We cause you to return," and on the third handful one should say, "And of it We shall cause you to be resurrected a second time. Please give me the references.

"There is no better man than Ali, and no sword better than Dhul-Faqaar"

Q: I need to know the status of this oft-quoted hadeeth: " There is no better man than `Ali, and no sword better than Dhul-Faqar"

“An angel called Radwan announced from the Heavens in (the Battle of) Badr ‘No sword other than Dhu Al-Faqar and no man better than `Ali.’”

Please provide references from traditional scholars in order to convince lay people.

Hadith regarding the temporary suspension of wahi

Q: I was told that it was stated in a certain shaykhs bayaan that during the period when wahi was stopped, Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) became despondent and wanted to commit suicide. According to my (ignorant) knowledge, I can never associate the mubarak countenance of Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) with that of someone wanting to take his own life. Please clarify as the possibility of me being incorrect is very likely.

I am a revert and I have some questions regarding Ahaadith

Q: I am a revert to Islam, and I'm still learning..however I have come across some hadith, that contradict the teachings and character of our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)..one example, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) told his son to divorce his wife so that he (saw) could marry her for himself..another example is that he ordered the killing of 100's of Jewish men because they didn't accept Islam and allowed his men to rape the women of those slain men..my question is: Are all hadith true and authentic, and if not, which hadith should we follow?

ثلاثون كذابون قبل يوم القيامة

س: كثر في زماننا أشد الإكثار - الناس الذين يقرون عن أنفسهم أنهم من الأنبياء، و يخرج من بعضهم الإستدراجات (و أكثرهم يرغبون بذلك المصالح الإقتصادية). أنا شخصيا رأيت في التلفاز الرجل الذي قال عن نفسه - أنه الرسول عيسى (ظهوره الثاني)؛ والناس الذين يقولون عن أنفسهم - أنهم الظهور الثاني للنبي عيسى - في زماننا كثير جدا (خاصة في الديار النصرانية). أظن أن ذلك من علامات تقريب يوم القيامة. هل هناك أحاديث ثابتة تخبر عن ذلك (يعني عن إكثار الناس الذين يقولون عن أنفسهم انهم من الأنبياء - قبل يوم القيامة)؟
