Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 35 — Yahya bin Hamzah (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا الْمَهْدِيُّ ، فَجَهَرَ بِ - بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ I " يَجْهَرُ بِ - بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ .
Yahya bin Hamzah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that al-Mahdi (may Allah have mercy on him) led us in prayer and recited 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) aloud. I spoke to him about this, and he said: "My father narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather, from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim' aloud."
