Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister Aisha says: Shaykh, regarding the basmalah here in the words of the Blessed and Exalted,
Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: 'In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[An-Naml 27:30]
, why did it come in this context?

Answer:
Because Sulayman wrote it at the beginning of his letter, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) related that from Sulayman, and the Basmala came as Sulayman wrote it at the beginning of his letter. Yes.
