The Method of Saying the Name in Ablution, and the Ruling on One Who Remembers It During Ablution

Question:
In his other question, he says: It is known that saying the name is necessary when performing ablution. So, is it said in the form "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy," or in the form "In the name of Allah" only? I have heard some people say that it is not permissible to say "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy." And if one forgets to say the name at the start of the ablution and remembers it during the process, does he say it, or has the place for it passed?

Answer:
Saying the name at the beginning of the ablution is obligatory according to Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him). It is a recommended practice (sunnah) according to the majority. One should say it at the beginning of the ablution, and its form is to say "In the name of Allah" only, without adding "the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy," because that has not been transmitted. Only the legislation of saying the name as "In the name of Allah" has been transmitted. If he remembers it during the ablution, he says the name during the ablution and continues with his ablution; he says it and completes his ablution. Yes.
