أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ صَلَّی بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يُسْمِعْنَا قِرَائَةَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَصَلَّی بِنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَلَمْ نَسْمَعْهَا مِنْهُمَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 910
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم led us in prayer, and we did not hear him recite: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And Abu Bakr and ‘Umar led us in prayer and we did not hear it from them either. (Sahih)
