Hadith #268
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَخْبَرَنَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَفْتِحُ
الْقِرَاءَةَ بْ { بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } أَوْ بْ { الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ } فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ

English Translation
Isma'il narrated to us, Sa'id ibn Yazid informed us, he said: I said to Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه): 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin the recitation with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim or with Al-hamdu lillahi Rabb al-'Alamin?' He said: 'You ask me about something that I do not remember, and I have not been asked about it by anyone before you.'
