[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every statement that does not begin with the mention of Allah is void."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٢٥٨أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ كَلَامٍ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ فَهُوَ أَبْتَرُ»

أبو داود:٤٨٤٠حَدَّثَنَا 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
