25. Rabāh bin 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abī Sufyān bin Huwaītīb narrated from his grandmother, from her father; she said (that he said): "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying: "There is no Wudū' for one who does not mention Allāh's Name
over it.” (Hasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Āishah, Abū Sa‘eed Al-Khudrī, Abū Hurairah, Sahl bin Sa’d, and Anas.
Abū ‘Eisā said: Aḥmad [bin Ḥanbal] said, “I do not know of a Hadīth on this topic that has a good (Jayyid) chain.”
Ishāq said, “If one purposely avoids the Tasmīyah he repeats the Wudū. If he forgets or did not do so because of some interpretation, then it is acceptable.”
Muḥammad bin Ismā‘īl said: “The best thing on this topic is the Hadīth of Rabāḥ bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān.”
Abū ‘Eisā said: As for “Rabāḥ bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān from his grandmother from her father,” her father is Sa‘eed [bin] Zaid bin ‘Amr bin Nufayl. Abū Thifāl Al-Murri’s name is Thumāmah bin Ḥuṣain. And Rabāḥ bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān is Abū Bakr bin Ḥuwaṭīb, some who report this Hadīth say, “From Abū Bakr bin Ḥuwaṭīb” attributing him to his grandfather.[1]

Commentary
In the opinion of Imām Ḥasan Baṣārī, Ishāq, Thāhirites and some other A‘immah, reading Bis-millāh [in the Name of Allāh] before beginning ablution is compulsory. According to Ibn Qudāmah, in the case of adopting the view of it
being compulsory, the ablution will then be invalid if 'the Name of Allāh' is abandoned intentionally; but the ablution will be valid if abandoned forgetfully.
