Verification of a Hadith

Q: May I know if the following hadith is authentic?

Salman Al-Farsi quoted the Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as saying: “Observe the night prayer; it was the practice of the righteous before you and it brings you closer to your Rabb and it is penance for evil deeds and erases the sins and repels disease from the body.” [At-Tabarani]

Sajda-e-shukr

Q: Kindly verify below. No references given

Benefits of Sajdatul Shukr

Sajdatul Shukr is like a treasure in this world and al ākhira. This information is worth gold, the benefits of doing Sajdatul Shukr. Most of us miss these benefits and we don't know how much it's worth. When we (as slaves of Allah) do Sajdatul Shukr, Allah opens the hijaab between us and the Angels . He says to the Angels, look at my slave, he did his fardh and obeyed my teachings and he did Sujuud to thank Me for what I've blessed him with. Oh My Angels what should he get? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your mercy. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your heaven. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana make his worries end. Then Allah Taala will ask what else? Everytime Allah asks n what else, the Angels will reply, something good to be given or be done to the person who does Sajdatul Shukr. Lastly the Angels will reply, Ya Rabana we have no knowledge. Then Allah will say, ' I'll thank him the way he thanked Me, I'll give him My favour and show him My mercy'. What harm do we get if we do Sajdatul Shukr everyday? It's just a sajda and not a salaat and it's best when a person is clean, having țahara. Also it's best if you face alqibla. Anyone who gets a blessing, or something has been renewed or lost something he owns, it's best for him to do Sajdatul Shukr. You can do it with or without wudu'; you can face alqibla or not. But it's best with wudu' and facing the alqibla. I advice you to do Sajdatul Shukr after every salaat and say ' Shukr Lillah' 3 times or 'Alhamdulillah' 3 times. I advice you not to let this chance get away from you. Pls share with all your contacts; everytime they do this sujda you'll get reward (ajir). Even after you've died it'll be sadaqatul jariya. O Allah, make it sadaqatul jariya for me, my parents, my family, all those who'll share it and all Muslims. 

Verification of a Hadith

Q: I’ve often come across the question:

"In Jannah, more valuable than being in Jannah is to see Allah Ta’ala directly. Allah Ta’ala comes personally to visit that lady who wears niqaab in this world”.

I would like to know that is the authenticity of this question? ‎

Verification of Ahaadith on fasting in the month of Muharram

Q: Why mostly hanafi people, mostly their scholars spread moudoo hadith? Like fast in month of Muharram which is equal to a month? They quote this hadith:

وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم من صام يوم عرفة كان له كفارة سنتين ومن صام يوما من المحرم فله بكل يوم ثلاثون يوما (مجمع الزوائد رقم 5244).

Which is moudoo and they also tell to do masah of side of neck so that you may not be shackled on day of qayammah which again is moudoo and they say it is sunnah. I think they should fear God and do not twist the deen as Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said

وَشَرَّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ وَكُلَّ ضَلاَلَةٍ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ

Doing any new deed which is not proved from sunnah or Sahabah will make them suffer hell fire.

Verification of a narration

Q: I read this somewhere:

Marne wale ko ru-ba-qibla (Qibla-rukh) karo (uska chehra aur dono qadmo'n ke talwe Qible ki taraf kiye jaayein). Jab aisa karoge to Malaika uski taraf mutawajjeh honge aur Khuda bhi uski taraf mutawajjeh hoga (uspar Rehmat naazil karega) aur jab tak uski Ruuh qabz na ho jaaye wo barabar usi haalat mein rahe (taaki Khuda aur Uske Malaaika ki tawajjoh ka markaz bana rahe).

Is there any such Hadith like this or is it fabricated by Shia.
