Was the pardoned prostitute a Kafir?
> Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A prostitute had once been forgiven. She passed by a dog panting near a well. Thirst had nearly killed him, so she took off her sock, tied it to her veil, and drew up some water. Allah forgave her for that.” > > Source: Ṣa...

> Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3143, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2245
Cited from https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2012/09/30/prostitute-forgiven-kalb/
According to the hadith above, a woman who committed sins was forgiven by Allah (SWT) due to quenching the thirst of a panting dog. Yes, she was forgiven, but how come she was? Did she commit kufr or not? Allah does not forgive a person who is a kafir and doesn't repent. Is she a monotheistic prostitute?

Salam,
I read about a book called the "Life of Adam and Eve" - which contains the story of Adam alaihi salam being prostrated before by the Angels. It seems to be from the first century? I am wondering how I should respond to creeping doubts, as it's argued that Muhammad Salla Allahu Alaihi Was Salam heard these stories and legends and incorporated it in the Qur'an, especially with the polemical nature of the Qur'an which seems to assume a fully knowing reader at times.

Is thanking Allah and someone shirk
Is saying I give thanks to Allah and so and so shirk? Or saying if it wasn’t for Allah and so-so?

Asksalam wallaikum
>˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and earth. How could He have children when **He has no consort**? He created all things and has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of everything.(6:101)
This verse says that Allah has no son because he has no consort. This verse is implying that Allah can not have a son because he does not have a partner.
But Allah is omnipotent he can do everything . >Commentary by Ibn kathir > >> How can He have children when He has no wife! for the child is the offspring of two compatible spouses. Allah does not have an equal, none of His creatures are similar to Him, for He alone created the entire creation. ------------ **So the question comes if Allah is all powerful then why can't he have a son without a partner? . Because the verse indirectly say that he can not have a son because he does not have a partner**.

Are these 2 hadithes about harming and questions on day of judgement authentic? Who are Darussalam and are they reliable? Why contradict with Islamqa?
The hadith are: First hadith: > It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled: >“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." > > — [Ibn Majah, 2340](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/33) This is also stated in [Ibn Majah, 2341](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/...
The hadith are:
First hadith:
> It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled:
>“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm."
>
> — [Ibn Majah, 2340](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/33)
This is also stated in [Ibn Majah, 2341](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/34) which is from Ibn Abbas.
Generally, Islamqa doesn't cite any da'if (weak) hadith. They stated this hadith in their [website](https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/110) without any reference, while stating the ruling on smoking, what they usually don't do. However, it's found in the book of hadith.
But with regards to this hadith of both isnaad,
Sunnah.com said,
> Grade : Da'if (Darussalam)
>
> — [Ibn Majah, 2340](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/33) , [Ibn Majah, 2341](https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/13/34)
So is there anyone who classed it as Sahih (authentic), and who are they? And who classed it as Da'if (weak)? And where?
Second hadith:
> Abu Barzah Al-Aslami narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
> "The feet of the slave of Allah shall not move [on the Day of Judgement] until he is asked about five things: about his life and what he did with it, about his knowledge and what he did with it, about his wealth and how he earned it and where he spent it on, about his body and for what did he wear it out."
>
> — [Timidhi, English reference, Vol. 4, Book 11, Hadith 2417; Arabic reference, Book 37, Hadith 2602](https://sunnah.com/urn/677220)
This is the same case. Islamqa cited it in the same page mentioned above, without any reference what they usually don't do. However, it's also found in the book of hadith. And it's not only Islamqa who cites this hadith, rather I've listened the hadith from different places.
But Sunnah.com said,
> Grade : Da'if (Darussalam)
>
> — [Timidhi, English reference, Vol. 4, Book 11, Hadith 2417; Arabic reference, Book 37, Hadith 2602](https://sunnah.com/urn/677220)
With regards to this hadith, my questions is same as the above.
Is there anyone who classed it as Sahih (authentic), and who are they? And who classed it as Da'if (weak)? And where?
But the fact is, all of this differences is raised and dissimilarities are found when the grade of the hadith is by Darussalam. It's not the only place where such dissimilarities are seen, rather in many cases, I have observed the same thing when the grade is by Darussalam.
Sometimes I feel it, unreliable to rely upon sunnah.com with regards to the grade of hadith, when it is by Darussalam.
Because, the Hadith regarding Salatul Tasbih was classed as [Sahih by Sunnah.com](https://sunnah.com/urn/1287340) with the grade by Darussalam.
But Islamqa proved it to be wrong in [here](https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/145112) and [here](https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/14320) .
And there are many incident like this that made the grade of hadith declared by sunnah.com with the reference of Darussalam, disputed, I think.
So it's requested to answer the questions with reliable references.

Shirk in my head while praying
I was praying and I thinking about how I always doubt my prayers and in my head I said “I know I prayed the right amount of rakahs, I swear on my life.” As soon I realized what I said in my head my heart dropped and I asked Allah for forgiveness repeatedly. Did I commit shirk?

For example, if Dhuhr is at 11:30am and Asr is at 3:00pm, I would put the alarm at 11:20am but when the alarm wakes me up I put it on 2:00pm and then end up waking up an...
I have a big problem where I usually miss Dhuhr prayer or pray Dhuhr 10 minutes before Asr prayer because I always delay my alarm.
For example, if Dhuhr is at 11:30am and Asr is at 3:00pm, I would put the alarm at 11:20am but when the alarm wakes me up I put it on 2:00pm and then end up waking up and praying 10 minutes before Asr prayer.
I am a woman who doesn't have a job and is not married. My sleeping pattern is not so good, I usually sleep after praying Fajr and then wake up at Asr. I know it's bad, I'm trying my best to fix it.
Can you please give me advice to remove this sleeping habit where I miss Dhuhr? I feel really bad about missing prayer due to sleep, will I be punished?
Thank you very much.
