Bayhaqi 198 — Saying Bismillah at the start of ablution (wudu)

وَبِمَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا هُوَ يَحْيَى بْنُ هَاشِمٍ السِّمْسَارُ، ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا تَطَهَّرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُطَهِّرُ جَسَدَهُ كُلَّهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدُكُمُ اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَى طُهُورِهِ لَمْ يُطَهِّرْ إِلَّا مَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ طُهُورِهِ فَلْيَشْهَدْ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ، فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الرَّحْمَةِ " وَهَذَا ضَعِيفٌ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، غَيْرُ يَحْيَى بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ هَاشِمٍ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When one of you performs ablution and mentions the name of Allah, his whole body becomes purified; and if someone does not mention the name of Allah while performing ablution, only the parts over which the water passed are purified. And when one of you finishes his purification, let him bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and then let him send blessings upon me. When he does so, the gates of mercy will be opened for him."
(b) The Shaykh says: This narration is weak; to my knowledge only Yahya bin Hashim narrated it from al-A'mash.
(c) Yahya bin Hashim is matruk al-hadith (abandoned in hadith).
(d) It has also been narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) through another chain.
