The authenticity of the hadith: Whoever does not begin with Bismillah is the most blind

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is Salim asking: What is the authenticity of the hadith regarding the Basmalah, which means that anything not begun with Bismillah is the most blind?

Answer:
The Shaykh: They say the hadith is weak in its chain, they say it is weak in its chain, but when we look at the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we find that he began with Bismillah, we find that he began with Bismillah in his sermons, saying it quietly without raising his voice in the Basmalah, and in his hadiths, when he spoke, he began with Bismillah. And we find that Bismillah is the first verse in the Qur'an , and the first of every surah except al-Bara'ah. And we found that when Sulayman (peace be upon him) wrote to the Queen of Saba, he wrote Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. She read it to her subjects and said, "It has been revealed to me and you will believe." The Sunnah is to precede speech and writing with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. This supports the hadith, even though it is weak. Yes.
