Did Prophet Muhammad (s) perform the Hajj pilgrimage for his parents?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The parents of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) were from the best believers of their time and both of them did perform their Hajj. The Proohet (SAWA) encouraged Muslims to perform J=Hajj on behalf of their percents who did not perform Hajj or in general as we read in many Hadeeths. Performing recommended Hajj on behalf of the parents is highly recommended. No doubt, the Prophet (SAWA) did perform recommended Hajj on behalf of his parents.

Wassalam.
Is there an authentic narration about the Prophet Muhammad seeking refuge in a cave and Allah instructing a spider to spin a web? If so, where can it be found?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

I have not reached to any authentic narration in this regard in our main books of Hadeeth. I have consulted leading scholars in Hadeeth and their reply was negative as well. Famous Sunni Shaikhs like Al-Albani deny the authenticity of such narration.

Who led the funeral prayer for Prophet Mohammed (s)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Ali (A.S.) led the funeral prayer of the Prophet Muhammad Peace and Salutation Upon Him and His Progeny. It is to be noted that many famous persons did not attend the funeral of the Prophet because they were busy in the conspiracy of Saqeefah which was been done by the opponents of Imam Ali (A.S.) who was busy in the funeral while Saqeefah group wanted to grab away his rights in leading the Ummah which was repeatedly declared by the Prophet (Peace and Salutation be Upon Him and His Holy Progeny).

Who performed the circumcision on Prophet Muhammad (s)?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Our belief is that some Prophets (a.s.) were born circumcised. Our beloved Prophet (s.a.w.), and our Imams (a.s.) were born circumcised.
