935
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ قَالَ‏:‏ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ الْحَسَنَ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ تِلْكَ صُدُورُ الرَّسَائِلِ‏.‏
Abu Mas'ud al-Jurayri related to him that a man asked al-Hasan about reading, "In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, Most Merciful." He said, "That should be put at the beginning of letters."
