Hadith 38636
٣٨٦٣٦ - حدثنا حسين عن زائدة عن عطاء بن السائب عن الشعبي قال: أول ما كتب النبي ﷺ (كتب) (١): باسمك اللهم فلما نزلت: ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا﴾ [هود: ٤١] كتب: ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ﴾، فلما نزلت: ﴿إِنَّهُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ﴾ [النمل: ٣٠]، كتب: ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ﴾ (٢).
Hazrat Sha'bi narrates that the very first written phrase by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was "Bismikallahumma." Then, when the verse of the Holy Qur'an { بِسْمِ اللہِ مَجْرَاہَا وَمُرْسَاہَا } was revealed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wrote "Bismillah." Then, when the verse of the Holy Qur'an {إِنَّہُ مِنْ سُلَیْمَانَ وَإِنَّہُ بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمَن الرَّحِیمِ } was revealed, he wrote the complete "Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem."
