(101) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ أَنَسًا إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِقَوْلِهِ: لَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يَقْرَأُ: (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ).Chapter 101: Evidence that Anas meant by his statement that he did not hear anyone recite "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim"
Hadith Q495
أَيْ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يَقْرَأُ جَهْرًا (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ)، وَأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسِرُّونَ (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ) فِي الصَّلَاةِ، لَا كَمَا تَوَهَّمَ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْتَغِلْ بِطَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ مَظَانِّهِ [وَ] طَلَبَ الرِّئَاسَةَ قَبْلَ تَعَلُّمِ الْعِلْمِ.
By this, he means that I did not hear any of them reciting بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ aloud, and indeed, they used to recite بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ in a low voice during prayer. (The meaning of your statement) is not as those people have misunderstood, who have not acquired knowledge from its original sources and seek status and rank even before acquiring knowledge.
