Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Hafs ibn 'Umar narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us from Qatadah from Anas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to begin the prayer with: [Al-Fatihah 1:2]
The Shaykh : "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." It is possible that the meaning is that they begin with al-Fatihah, meaning in the recitation, which does not contradict the following hadith of Abu Hurayrah. It is also possible that they begin with this phrase, "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds." This means that they do not recite the opening supplication, the Basmalah, or the seeking of refuge aloud.
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
