How sound is the hadith: "There is no prayer for one whose prayer does not deter him from indecency and evil," and the hadith: "Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith, "Whoever's prayer does not restrain him from indecency and evil will only increase in distance from Allah," is an authentic narration from Ibn Mas'ud, but it is not correct to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It is false with this wording. As for the hadith, "Paradise is beneath the feet of mothers," it is fabricated, and the hadith, "Stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet," suffices instead of it.
