حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سألته عن " بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم " فقال عليه السلام. الباء بهاء الله، والسين سناء الله، والميم مجد الله - وروى بعضهم ملك الله -، والله إله كل شئ، [و] الرحمن لجميع العالم والرحيم بالمؤمنين خاصة.
1.	We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from Qasim bin Yahya, from his grandfather, Hasan bin Rashid, from Abdullah bin Sinan, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: I asked him about «Bism-il-Laah-ir-Rahmaan-ir-Raheem» [1] (1:1), so he, peace be upon him, said: The Baa’ is the Magnificence of Allah, the Seen is the Sublimity of Allah, and the Miim is the Nobility of Allah – and some narrated: the Kingdom of Allah – and Allah is the God of everything, and the Merciful to all in the world, and the Merciful in particular to the believers in particular.
