مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلسَّبْعِ اَلْمَثٰانِي وَ اَلْقُرْآنَ اَلْعَظِيمَ هِيَ اَلْفَاتِحَةُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ:« بِسْمِ اَللّٰهِ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ اَلرَّحِيمِ مِنَ اَلسَّبْعِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ هِيَ أَفْضَلُهُنَّ»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Al-Abbas from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr from Abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about ‘the seven oft-repeated verses’ (al-Sab‘ al-Mathani) and ‘the Great Qur'an’ (al-Qur’an al-‘Azim), is it Al-Fatiha? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes." I asked: “Is ‘Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim’ among the seven (al-Sab‘ al-Mathani)?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, it is the best of them."
