The answer to your question is as follow:

Such confusions are due to poor understanding of meaning of the hadith. In some narrations the word ‘al-sareer’ is mentioned instead of ‘al-Arsh’. And al-sreer’ means ‘the bed’. So the hadith means that it was the bed of Hazrat Saad's funeral which began to shake.

The second meaning is that the meaning ofاھتز or ‘shook’ is not ‘to move’; rather it means ‘it became happy’. Such symbolic meanings are found in Arabic terms. Now the meaning of the hadith is that on the death of Hazrat Saad ibn Mu'az, the Throne of the Rahman rejoiced.

In the same way, the happiness of the Throne here means the happiness of the angels who carry the Throne of Rahman. So the hadith means: on the death of Hazrat Saad bin Mu'adh, the angels—who carry the Throne of Allah—rejoiced. Now there is no objection on the hadith.

The rejoicing of Rahman can also be meant, because Allah, the Exalted rejoices the meeting with a pious believer, and it is through the death that a man can meet Allah.

قوله: (اهتز (1) العرش لموت سعد)، وفي بعض الروايات: لفظ السرير، وبينهما فرق، فإن الاهتزاز على الثاني، اهتزاز سريره الذي كان نعشه عليه. وعلى الأول، فهو إما للفرحة والمسرة لقدومه إلى حضرة الربوبية، أو لمساءة موته. (فیض الباری، باب مناقب سعد بن معاذ 4/503) الاهتزاز: الاستبشار والسرور، يقال: "إن فلانا ليهتز للمعروف" أي يستبشر ويسر. "إن فلانا لتأخذه للثناء هزة"، أي ارتياح وطلاقة. ومنه قيل في المثل: "إن فلانا إذا دعي اهتز، وإذا سئل، ارتز"1. والكلام لأبي الأسود الدؤلي، يريد: أنه إذا دعي إلى طعام يأكله اهتز، أي: ارتاح وسر. وإذا سئل الحاجة، ارتز: أي ثبت على حاله ولم يطلق. فهذا معنى الاهتزاز، في هذا الحديث. وأما العرش، فعرش الرحمن، جل وعز، على ما جاء في الحديث. وإنما أراد باهتزازه، استبشار الملائكة الذين يحملونه ويحفون حوله، بروح سعد بن معاذ. (تاویل مختلف الحدیث، قال احکام قد اجمع علیھا 1/387)

The answer to your question is as follows:

Learning Iman means various things like: purifying the heart from non-God, purifying the deeds from show off, purifying the soul from vile morals, purifying the earnings from disgusting sources, and keeping the society away from different forms of dirtiness prevalent in the era of Ignorance. When a Muslim acquires these basic things, his heart develops the ability to learn and act upon the Shariah rules and deeds. So the learning sought after purification is more useful. Therefore, the Companions of the Prophet (saws) said that they first learned Iman (purification of the heart) and then only turned to the Qur'an (learning). Moreover, the real purpose of education and learning is to enhance faith and purification. Otherwise, without purification of deeds and morals, mere knowledge is of no value.

عن جندب بن عبد الله، قال: كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن فتيان حزاورة، «فتعلمنا الإيمان قبل أن نتعلم القرآن، ثم تعلمنا القرآن فازددنا به إيمانا» (حاشیۃ السندی علی سنن ابن ماجۃ، باب فی الایمان 1/31)

وقد كتب الغزالي أن بعض العلم لا يضطر العالم إلى العمل به، وبعضه يغلب عليه، ويستعمل الأعضاء في الطاعات، وهذا هو الإيمان عند السلف، وهو المراد بما قلت: إن الإيمان ينبسط من الباطن إلى الجوارح، والإسلام يدخل من الظاهر إلى الباطن. فإن التصديق إذا غلب واستعمل الأعضاء صار الإسلام والإيمان متحدين، وهو المراد باتحاد المسافتين، وإلى هذا المقام أشير في قوله: «أن تعبد الله كأنك تراه» ... إلخ، (فیض الباری علی صحیح البخاری، باب سؤال جبرئیل النبیﷺ 1/227)

It is okay to lend seeds, but to make it a condition that the buyer sells it to you only later on is not valid and it is against the basics of the trade.

The answer to your question is as follows:

You are a Shariah Musafir at the new place you have been transferred to; you will pray a short prayer there. Unless you intend to stay there for 15 days, you will remain a shariah Musafir. Therefore, as long as you stay there for a short time (less than 15 days), you have to do Qasr (half) not itmam (full).

The chickens not slaughtered according to the Islamic method are considered dead for a Muslim. And selling and buying of dead are forbidden in Islam. Therefore, buying and selling of such chickens is not halal for a Muslim, thus the profit earned by it is not halal.

The answer to your question is as follows:

  We could not find any clear specification in Quran and Hadith about the total number of Sahaba. Hafiz ibne Salah wrote in Muqaddama ibne Salah with  the reference to Imam abu Zur’aa Razi that the number of Sahaba was 1,14000.

۔ قبض رسول اللہ ﷺ عن ماۃ الف واربعۃ عشر الفا من الصحابۃ ممن روی عنہ وسمع منہ وفی روایۃ ممن رآہ وسمع منہ (مقدمہ ابن صلاح 1/400)۔

Moreover, Hafiz ibne Iraqi wrote that it is very difficult to mention the exact number of Sahaba for they moved to different locations in the world. While writing the occurrence of Kab bin malik in tabuk when he fell behind, Imam Bukhari wrote:

اصحاب رسول اللہ کثیر لایجمعھم کتاب حافظ (الاصابۃ فی تمییز الصحابۃ 1/88) ۔
