"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)؟

Love for the Arabs

Q: Is there any kind of hadith about Arab people like, Don't use any kinds of bad words on arab people because Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is an Arab, the holy Qu'an is in arabic and next language will be Arabic?
