[AI] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ reads "{In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds}" letter by letter.
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} يَعْنِي حَرْفًا حَرْفًا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; most Gracious, most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment," breaking its recitation into verses, one after another. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad (b. Hanbal) say: The early reading is: Maliki yawmi'l-din.
أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ أَوْ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَهَا قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ * الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ * الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ * مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } يَقْطَعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً
that Umm Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would separate recitation reciting: 'Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbil-'Alamin' then he would stop. 'Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim' then he would stop. And he would recite it: 'Maliki Yawmid-Din.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ يَقْرَأُ (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ) ثُمَّ يَقِفُ ( الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ) ثُمَّ يَقِفُ وَكَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا (مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ )
[AI] Regarding the reading of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , she said, "He would recite his recitation verse by verse: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. [Al-Fatiha:1] Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. [Al-Fatiha:2] The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. [Al-Fatiha:1] Master of the Day of Judgment."
عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ}
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" [Chapter Al-Fatiha, verse 1], and "All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds" [Chapter Al-Fatiha, verse 2]. He would recite them letter by letter.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] يَقْطَعُهَا حَرْفًا حَرْفًا
[AI] Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to start his recitation with the verses: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment.'"
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} »
[AI] "The Prophet ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) did not recite 'Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim' loudly, but they used to recite 'Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alamin' aloud."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَجْهَرُونَ بِ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} وَكَانُوا يَجْهَرُونَ بِ {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ}»
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pause in his recitation when he reached the verse "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُقَطِّعُ فِي قِرَاءَتِهِ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} »
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; most Gracious, most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment," breaking its recitation into verses, one after another. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad (b. Hanbal) say: The early reading is: Maliki yawmi'l-din. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4001)
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتْ أَوْ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَهَا قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً
[AI] The reading of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." [Al-Fatiha 2], meaning word by word. And likewise.
قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ {بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] يَعْنِي كَلِمَةً كَلِمَةً وَكَذَلِكَ
"إِذا قُمْتَ في الصلاةِ فَقُل: بسمِ الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمدُ للهِ ربِّ العالمينَ، حتَّى تَختِمها و {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} إلى آخِرها".
("كَيفَ تَقْرَأُ إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي الصَّلاةِ؟ قَال: الحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ "الْعَالمِينَ. قال: قُلْ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ").
"عَنْ أبى فاختة: أن عليا كان لا يجهر ببِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وكان يجهر بالحمد لله رب العالمين".
"عَن عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ : كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ إِذَا قُمتَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ؟ قُلتُ: الحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، قَالَ: قُلْ: بِسْم الله الرَّحمنِ الرَّحِيم".
"عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : كَيْفَ تَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلاَةَ يَا جَابِرُ؟ قُلتُ: بِالْحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ الْعَالمِينَ. قَالَ: قُلْ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ".
