Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1192 — on the obligation of reciting Bismillah
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَاعِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلاةَ قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 2 ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْهَةً " . لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ غَيْرُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، وَوَقَفَهُ غَيْرُهُ مِنْ فِعْلِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alamin" at the beginning of the prayer, then after that he would remain silent for a short while. This narration has been transmitted as a marfu' hadith from Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) only by the narrator named Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him), while other narrators have transmitted it as a mawquf narration as the action of Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him).
