Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1187 — on the obligation of reciting Bismillah
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْجُرْجَانِيُّ ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ ، أنا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّى مُعَاوِيَةُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ صَلاةً فَجَهَرَ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَلَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَلَمْ يَقْرَأْهَا لِلسُّورَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا وَلَمْ يُكَبِّرْ حِينَ يَهْوِي حَتَّى قَضَى تِلْكَ الصَّلاةَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ نَادَاهُ مَنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ ، يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ أَسَرَقْتَ الصَّلاةَ أَمْ نَسِيتَ ؟ قَالَ : فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلا قَرَأَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَلِلسُّورَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا وَكَبَّرَ حِينَ يَهْوِي سَاجِدًا " . كُلُّهُمْ ثِقَاتٌ.
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) performed prayer in Madinah Munawwarah. In it, he recited aloud, but he did not recite "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" aloud, neither before Surah al-Fatihah nor before the surah after al-Fatihah. Similarly, while bowing (i.e., going into ruku‘ or sujud), he did not say the takbir. When he completed the prayer and said salam, those Muhajirun and Ansar who heard his voice addressed him loudly, saying: O Sayyiduna Muawiyah! Did you make a deficiency in the prayer or did you forget? The narrator states: After that, in every prayer he performed, he recited "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" aloud, both before Surah al-Fatihah and before the surah after al-Fatihah, and he also said the takbir while going into sujud. All the narrators of this narration are trustworthy.
