Bayhaqi 2399 — Opening the recitation in prayer with "Bismillah"

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَلِيمٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو الْمُوَجَّهِ، أنبأ عَبْدَانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: وَثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي السَّبْعِ الْمَثَانِي قَالَ: هِيَ فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ قَرَأَهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبْعًا " قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي: أَخْبَرَكَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ آيَةٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " قَرَأَهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning 'al-Sab' al-Mathani' (the seven oft-repeated verses) that it refers to Surah al-Fatihah. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) recited it, counting 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' [Surah al-Fatihah: 1] with it, as seven (verses).
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked my father: Did Sa'id bin Jubayr tell you, on the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' [Surah al-Fatihah: 1] is a verse of the Book of Allah? He replied: Yes! And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) recited 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' [Surah al-Fatihah: 1] in both rak'ahs.
