Bayhaqi 2408 — Opening the recitation in prayer with "Bismillah"

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ فِي آخَرِينَ، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " صَلَّى مُعَاوِيَةُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ صَلَاةً فَجَهَرَ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ، فَقَرَأَ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، وَلَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا لِلسُّوَرَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى قَضَى تِلْكَ الْقِرَاءَةَ، وَلَمْ يُكَبِّرْ حِينَ يَهْوِي حَتَّى قَضَى تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ نَادَاهُ مَنْ شَهِدَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ: يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ أَسَرَقْتَ ⦗٧٢⦘ الصَّلَاةَ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَرَأَ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لِلسُّورَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَبَّرَ حِينَ يَهْوِي سَاجِدًا " وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ.
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed Abu Bakr bin Hafs that Amir Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) led a prayer in Madinah in which he recited aloud. He recited 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) together with Surah al-Fatihah, but did not recite it with the surah after it until he had completed that recitation, and he did not say the takbir when bending down for ruku' and prostration, and he completed the prayer. When he concluded with the salam, those of the Muhajirun who were present began calling out to him from every side: O Mu'awiyah! Have you shortened the prayer, or have you forgotten? Then when he led the prayer after that (again), he also recited 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) with the surah after Surah al-Fatihah, and he also said the takbir when going down into prostration.
