No doubt that performing Qaza prayers is obligatory and more important than recommended prayers. The reward for Qaza prayers is more than recommended prayers.

Ring . Mustahabb

Are rings with the stones of amethyst, citrine, granite and onyx Mustahab to wear? If so, what are their effects and in which narrations can they be found?

We have many narrations encouraging wearing ring, any ring except golden ring for me because it is forbidden for men to wear gold as well as pure silk. We also have many narrations to wear Aqeeq Yamani (Onyx) and Pharozaj and other precious stones.

You can find many of these Hadeeths in Wasaa'il Al-Shia, Hadeeth number 5980 and 5983, 5991, and 5993, and 5996 and many others.

Mustahabb

What are some Mustahabb prayers that are quick and easy to remember?

Night prayer (Salat al-Layl or Namaz e Shab) is the most recommended Mustahab prayer every night. It is very easy to remember as it has four units of two Rak'ats each just like morning prayers, then another two Rak'ats called Shaf'a شفع then just single Rak'at called Witr. These 11 Rak'ats are the full form of Night Prayer. There is shorter form of it which contains just the two Rak'ats of Shaf'a and the single Rak'at of Witr. The shortest form is just the single Rak'at of Witr alone.

Sleep . Fajr . Makruh . Mustahabb

Is it Makruh to sleep between Fajr and Sunrise? What are all the Mustahab and Makruh sleeping times?

Yes, it is Makrouh (disliked and harmful) to sleep between Fajr and sunrise and also between Asr and Maghrib.

Sleeping between Fajr and sunrise drives away Barakat and makes the income less, as we read in many Hadeeths.(النوم بين الفجر وطلوع الشمس يطرد الرزق)

Sleeping between Asr and Maghrib harms the mental and psychological health. The Hadeeth states: Who sleeps after Asr, should not blame but himself. (من نام بعد العصر فلا يلومن الا نفسه)

Pain . Wife . Husband . Mustahabb

Does any otherwise Mustahab act that causes pain to one's wife become unlawful to perform for the husband?

Any act which causes pain to any one else ( except the enemies of Allah) is forbidden and Haraam.

Being good to your spouse is one of most important duties in Islam.

If any recommended act cause pain to your wife, you should not do it, because avoiding Haraam is before doing a recommended act.
