Authenticity of the dua for Rajab and Shabaan

Q: I would like to know whether reciting the following famous Dua is Sunnah/Permissible/Bidah:

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ، وَبَلِّغْنَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ

Is there a strong command or a sign of permission from Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam regarding the recitation of this Dua in the months of Rajab and Shabaan?

Hadith regarding raisins being the cure for inferiority complex

Q: I read the following Hadith in a Tibb kitaab, however, the English translation of the last two words does not seem to be suitable. Please may the correct translation of the following be provided:

"Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) says that Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that those who take 21 raisins (الزبيب) daily will be free from all diseases which give rise to inferior complex. [Abu Nu-aim: 813]"

Unauthentic reports regarding the birth of Hazrat Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Q: Recently I heard a bayaan that three things happened when our beloved Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was born.

1. He was born without an umbilical cord.

2. He was born without any blood stains on his body which usually is the case with every new born baby.

3. He was born with khatnah.

But he didn't mention any reference of Hadith. Before passing on this information to someone else, I would like to ask you if the above mentioned things are mentioned in the mubarak hadith's.

Unauthentic narration regarding qaza namaaz

Q: I saw a picture in which there was a hadeeth. The hadeeth mentioned that if a person has many qaza namaaz and he does not know how many qaza namaaz he has then he should perform a 4 rakat nafal namaaz with 1 salam on the last jumuah in Ramadhan. He should just read surah fatiha then 7 times ayatul kursi and 15 times surah kothar. All the qaza namaaz will be done after this 4 rakat nafal namaaz. Is it true?

Authenticity of a Hadith on rainwater treatment

Q: I just want to verify the authenticity of a hadith on rainwater treatment:

Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that Jibareel (alaihis salaam) taught me a remedy that obviates the need for any medicine or physician.

Recite 70 times on rain water, Surah Faatiha, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq & Surah Naas.

Drink for seven days, morning and evening. Whoever drinks it Allah will eliminate all sicknesses and pain. Whoever gives it to a woman before sleeping with her, she will, by the permission of Allah, fall pregnant. It cures the eyes, eliminates sihr, toothache, urine stoppage, etc.
