abudawud:4840 – Abū Tawbah > Zaʿam al-Walīd > al-Awzāʿī > Qurrah > al-Zuhrī > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said: Every important matter which is not begun by an expression of praise to Allah is maimed. Abu Dawud said: It has also been transmitted by Yunus, 'Aqil, Shu'aib, Sa'id b. 'Abd al-Aziz from al-Zuhri from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form (the link of the Companion is missing).

أبو داود:٤٨٤٠ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ قَالَ زَعَمَ الْوَلِيدُ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ قُرَّةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُّ كَلاَمٍ لاَ يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ أَجْذَمُ

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ يُونُسُ وَعُقَيْلٌ وَشُعَيْبٌ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلاً

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنَ ابْتِدَاءِ الْحَمْدِ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِي أَوَائِلِ كَلَامِهِ عِنْدَ بُغْيَةِ مَقَاصِدِهِ

ابن حبّان:١ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي الْعِشْرِينَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ قُرَّةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ أَمْرٍ ذِي بَالٍ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ أَقْطَعُ»

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ تَكُونَ فَوَاتِحُ أَسْبَابِهِ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِئَلَّا تَكُونَ أَسْبَابُهُ بَتْرًا
