أَخْبَرَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ، وَعُثْمَانَ كَانُوا" يَفْتَتِحُونَ الْقِرَاءَةَ بِ # الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 2 # ".
قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد : بِهَذَا نَقُولُ، وَلَا أَرَى الْجَهْرَ بِ # بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ سورة الفاتحة آية 1 #

Muslim bin Ibrahim told us, Hisham told us, Qatada told us, on the authority of Anas, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and Abu Bakr, Omar and Othman used to begin the recitation with “Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds,” Surah Al-Fatihah, Verse 2 #.
Abu Muhammad said: This is what we say, and I do not think it should be said out loud # In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Surah Al-Fatihah, Verse 1 #
