"عَنْ أَبِى جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِى: لِمَ كَتَمْتُم بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم؟ فَنِعْمَ الاِسْمُ وَاللَّهِ كتَمُوا، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كان إِذَا دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ

اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْه قُرَيْشٌ فَيَجْهَرُ بِبِسْم اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم، ويَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَتُولِّى قُرَيْشٌ فِرَارًا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ -تَعَالَى-: {وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِى الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُورًا} ".  

ابن النجار
