Hadith Narrated By Ibn Abdullah bin Mughaffal

from his father and he said: "I have rarely seen a man for whom innovation in Islam was harder to bear than him. He heard me reciting: 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim [1:1] and he said: 'O my son, beware of innovation, for I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (saw), and with Abu Bakr, and with Umar, and with Uthman, and I never heard any of them saying this. When you (begin to) recite, say: 'All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.' (Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-'Alamin).'" [1:2] (Daif)
