Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ إِمَاماً يَسْتَفْتِحُ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ لاَ يَقُولُ« بِسْمِ اَللّٰهِ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ اَلرَّحِيمِ قَالَ« لاَ يَضُرُّهُ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ»
As for what was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Al-Sindi from Hammad from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who is an Imam (of prayer) and begins with Al-Hamd without saying "Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim". Imam عليه السلام said: "It does not harm him, and there is no problem with that."
