The Proof Of Those Who Say That The Basmalah Should Not Be Recited Aloud
Sahih Muslim
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَذْكُرُ ذَلِكَ .
It is reported on the authority of Abu Talha that he had heard Anas b. Malik narrating this.
