Piety is cause for gaining beneficial knowledge
From what I understand from a verse in the Quran [in Surah Al-Baqarah] is that if we fear Allaah, he will teach us. Does that cover all types of knowledge?

Supplicating Allah for wealth, power and wisdom

However, he does not know how he would help and is neither rich nor intelligent. Is this type of praying good, or is he merely burdening himself?

Musaafahah done with one hand or both
Assalaamu alaykum. What is the authentic hadith for Musaafahah(shaking the hand) with one hand? There are so many interpretations given by people in our region (South India).
