245. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ would open his Ṣalāt with (Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm).” (Ḥasan) Abū ‘Eisā said: The chain of this Hadīth is not that strong. A number of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said this: Among them were Abū Hurairah, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbās, Ibn Az-Zubair. – as well as after them from the Tābi‘īn. They held the view that (Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm) should be recited aloud. This is the saying of Ash-Shāfi‘ī. Ismā‘īl bin Hammād (one of the narrators) is Ibn Abī Sulaimān, and they call Abū Khālid (one of the narrators): Abū Khālid Al-Wālībī, and his name is Hurmuz, and he is from Al-Kūfah.

٢٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْتَتِحُ صَلَاتَهُ بِـ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ». وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِذَاكَ. وَقَدْ قَالَ بِهَذَا عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِنْهُمْ: أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ، رَأَوُا الْجَهْرَ بِـ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الشَّافِعِيُّ. وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ. وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ هُوَ أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْوَالِبِيُّ، وَاسْمُهُ هُرْمُزُ، وَهُوَ كُوفِيٌّ.
