Fasting – Hadith Answers

Is there a hadith which states that Adhan used to be given at half the night in Madinah Munawwarah in the time of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) so that those in the Masjid could go home and those at home could come to the Masjid?

Authenticity of the Rajab du’a

Question

The following du’a is commonly recited at the beginning of Rajab, Is it authentic?

Some people say it’s baseless and should not be read.

Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Shaban wa balighna Ramadan.

Hadith: The fast only breaks with something entering the stomach

Question

What is the authenticity of the following narration:

Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallalahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once entered and said: ‘O ‘Aishah, do you have a piece of bread’? Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says that she brought a piece of bread for Nabi (sallalahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), he put it in his mouth and asked: ‘ O ‘Aishah did any of it enter my belly? This is like the kiss of a fasting person, the fast is broken by what goes in, not by what comes out.

Hadith about "kaffarah" for breaking the fast in Ramadan

Question

I read about the fiqh of Ramadan on one website and it says if one violates the fast while eating he must fast for two consecutive months as kafarrah. It said one sahabi ate in the day in Ramadan and the Prophet (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) ordered him to expiate it by fasting as mentioned above. It said it was in Sunan Daraqutni. Is there a hadith saying this? as i’m unsure of its authenticity.
