[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ used to start his recitation with Bismillah hir-Rahman ir-Rahim when he led the people in prayer. [It is reported that Abu Huraira said:] "It is a verse from the Book of Allah. Read if you wish, the Opening of the Quran, for it is the seventh verse."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ افْتَتَحَ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هِيَ آيَةٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَاتِحَةَ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّهَا الْآيَةُ السَّابِعَةُ
