Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

31
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُمْتُ وَرَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ فَكُلُّهُمْ كَانَ لاَ يَقْرَأُ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil that Anas ibnMalik said, "I stood behind Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and none ofthem used to recite 'In the name of Allah, the Merciful, theCompassionate' when they began the prayer."
