Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) did not recite Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem aloud. The same narration is also transmitted through some other chains, however, in it are these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) would begin the recitation aloud with “Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil ‘alamin.” The same narration is also transmitted from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain. The same narration is transmitted through some other chains as well, however, there is a difference in wording.
