Blood In Saliva
Question. After brushing my teeth, I often find blood in my saliva. Would this invalidate my wudu?
Answer: If the blood predominates or is equal to your saliva; your Wudu will be nullified. This is usually when the saliva is red in colour. However, if the saliva is whitish, yellowish or just slightly red, the Wudhu will not be broken.

Answer: it is Sunnah to perform 40 Salahs in Masjidun Nabawi. (Fatawa Mahmudiyya vol.3 pg.186) The Messenger (Sallallahu Alahi Wasallam) said:
مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِي أَرْبَعِينَ صَلاةً لا يَفُوتُهُ صَلاةٌ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنْ النَّارِ ، وَنَجَاةٌ مِنْ الْعَذَابِ ، وَبَرِئَ مِنْ النِّفَاقِ
(احمد، والطبراني، جمع الفوائد)
“Whoever performs 40 salawât consecutively in my Masjid will be exempted from the fire, its punishments and from hypocrisy.” (Jam’ul Fawâid)
