Musnad Abi Ya'la 3245 — I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: " صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَخَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَخَلْفَ عُمَرَ، وَخَلْفَ عُثْمَانَ، فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ الْقِرَاءَةَ بِـ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة: 1] " قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: قُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ: أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ أَنَسًا
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them); they did not begin the recitation with 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.'" Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him): "Did you hear this from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He said: "Yes, I asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about it."
