Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8969 — Recitation of the Quran

Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, al-hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds) letter by letter.
