"I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them, and I did not hear any of them say out loud: In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful."

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ ؓ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يَجْهَرُ بِ { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ }

[AI] "I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , as well as behind Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, and they would not audibly recite 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' (Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem) in Surah Al-Fatiha."

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ فَكَانُوا لَا يَجْهَرُونَ بِ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1]

[AI] "I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and behind Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman. They would not recite aloud the Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) in Al-Fatiha (Chapter 1)."

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ فَكَانُوا لَا يَجْهَرُونَ بِ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1]

[AI] The Mahdi prayed with us and recited "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" out loud. I asked him about that and he said, "My father told me, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' out loud."

صَلَّى بِنَا الْمَهْدِيُّ فَجَهَرَ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَجْهَرُ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to say aloud "Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim" (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful).

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَانَ يَجْهَرُ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ»

"I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them, and I did not hear any of them say out loud: In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 907)

«صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يَجْهَرُ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ»

[AI] I prayed behind Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he recited aloud "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَجَهَرَ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

[AI] Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar, he used to open the mother of the Book (the Quran) with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful". This is the authentic narration (from the Prophet Muhammad) and it is stopped (meaning the narration ends here).

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَفْتَتِحُ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ {بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ مَوْقُوفٌ

"صليتُ خلفَ النبىِّ ﷺ ، وأبِى بكرٍ، وعمرَ، وعثمانَ فلم يجهرْ ببِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ".

"عَنْ عَمْرِو بْن دينَارٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاس، وَابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَا يَفْتَتِحَانِ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} ".

" عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاس أنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ صَلَّى فَجَهرَ: {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} ".

"عَنْ نَافِعٍ: أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ لاَ يَدعُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، يَفْتَتِحُ القِرَاءَةَ بِبِسْم اللهِ الرَّحْمن الرَّحيمِ".

"عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أنَّ النَّبىَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْتَتِحُ الْقِرَاءَةَ بِبِسْم الله الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ".
