Assalaamu alaikum. I recently read somewhere that Surah Al-Feel and Surah Quraish must be combined in the prayer, that they cannot be read separately as different surahs, and that this is the same for Surah Adh-Dhuha and SurahAsh-Sharh. Is this correct according to the Hanafi mathhab (school of thought)?

Praying while holding in wind
Assalaamu alaykum. In most of my prayers, I feel like passing wind, so I do hold it in sometimes and continue my prayer, especially when it happens too often.
