[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited in prayer, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" [Al-Fatihah 1]. He considered it as one verse, "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds" [Al-Fatihah 2], consisting of two verses, "The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" [Al-Fatihah 1], containing three verses, "Master of the Day of Judgment" [Al-Fatihah 4], comprising four verses. He said, "This is how we worship You and seek Your help" [Al-Fatihah 5], while joining his fingers together. Ibn Khuzaymah mentioned this in his book from As-Saghani.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] فَعَدَّهَا آيَةً {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] آيَتَيْنِ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] ثَلَاثَ آيَاتٍ {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} أَرْبَعَ آيَاتٍ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} [الفاتحة 5] وَجَمَعَ خَمْسَ أَصَابِعِهِ ورَوَاهُ ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَنِ الصَّغَانِيِّ
