عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يُقَطِّعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ آيَةً آيَةً، {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ}
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she was asked about the recitation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), she replied: He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite separately and one verse at a time: {بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِیْمِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ مَالِکِ یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ}.
