Supplications for the Opening of the Prayer

The questioner:
Shaykh, is it permissible for you to recite the opening supplication, "I have turned my face toward the One who made the heavens and the earth," up to the end of the verses?

The Shaykh:
(peace and blessings be upon him) it is obligatory, and all the opening supplications established for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are recited after the opening takbir, after saying Allahu Akbar, the first opening takbir, he opens with them,

The questioner:
When.

The Shaykh:
it is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), among them is: "Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise, and blessed is Your name, and Exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god but You," and among them is: "O Allah, bless between me and my sins, as You have blessed between the mosque and the betrayal, O Allah, purify me from my sins, and from the white garment and the Nablus cloth, O Allah, wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail," and among them is: "I have turned my face to the One who said (peace and blessings be upon him), and I am the first of the Muslims, and I am among the first of the believers," up to the end, up to his prayer, and a disbeliever up to the end, and among them are other things, yes.

The questioner:
Only when it appears up to the end of the verse, and he says: I am the first, and I am among the first of the believers.

The Shaykh:
We are Muslims.

The questioner:
And I am among them.

The Shaykh:
With eight, the second one, because the first is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but you, you are among the Muslims.
