سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4001
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: "In the name of Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; most Gracious, most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment, " breaking its recitation into verses, one after another. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad (b. Hanbal) say: The early reading is: Maliki yawmi'l-din.
