A follow up question on the du’a to recite after Fajr and Maghrib for protection from Jahannam

Question

With regard to reading ‘Allahumma ajirni minan nar’ seven times after Fajr and Maghrib, I have two questions:

1. Is there any narration that mentions that this should be said before unfolding one’s legs?

Clarification on what to recite after ruku’

Question

Is there a contradiction between these narrations?

1) Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says, “When we would read Salah behind Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and he would say ‘sami’allahu liman hamidah‘ then those behind would say, ‘sami’allahu liman hamidah.'” (Daraqutni)

2) Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When the Imam says ‘sami’allahu liman hamidah‘, say ‘Allahumma Rabbana lakal hamd‘”. (Sahih Bukhari, 796-3228)

Are women prohibited from red clothing?

Question

Is this report correct?

1. ‘Aaisha (radiyallahu ‘anha) wore a dress that was dyed with ‘Usfur’ while she was in the state of Ihram. (Usfur, the red substance extracted from safflower)

If it is authenic, then it contradicts the following Hadith which prohibits women from wearing such garments:

2. “Woe unto women from the two reds: gold and safflower-dyed clothes”

This is used by shi’ah against our mother ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu’anha)
