حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الرَّازِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ ، " أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، كَانَ يَجْهَرُ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ ، يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ ، تبارك اسمك وتعالى جدك ، ولا إله غيرك ، وعن قتادة : أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يُخْبِرُهُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ ، وَعُثْمَانَ ، فَكَانُوا يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ بِ الْحَمْد لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، لَا يَذْكُرُونَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فِي أَوَّلِ قِرَاءَةٍ ، وَلَا فِي آخِرِهَا " .
'Abda reported: 'Umar bin al-Khattab used to recite loudly these words: Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuka [Glory to Thee,O Allah, and Thine is the Praise, and Blessed is Thy Name. and Exalted is Thy Majesty. and there is no other object of worship beside Thee]. Qatada informed in writing that Anas bin Malik (RA) had narrated to him: I observed prayer behind the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar and 'Uthman. They started (loud recitation) with: Al-hamdu lillahi Rabb al-'Alamin [All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds] and did not recite Bismillah ir- Rahman-ir-Rahim (loudly) at the beginning of the recitation or at the end of it.
