Hadith 287
۞
2. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad, on the authority of al-Qasim ibn Yahya, on the authority of his grandfather al-Hasan ibn Rashid, on the authority of `Abd Allah ibn Sinan that
I asked Abut `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) about the meaning of Bismillah al-Rahman alRahim; hence, he (AS) responded, The Ba * is the brilliance {baha] of Allah. The sin * is the splendor [sama] of Allah. The mim * is the magnificence [majd] of Allah, and some have related that it is the Kingdom [mulk] of Allah. Allah is the God of Everything. AlRahman is the Beneficent to all His creation, an al-Rahim is the One who is Merciful to the Believes specifically.
2 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، فقال: الباء بهاء الله، والسين سناء الله والميم مجد الله. وروي بعضهم: ملك الله، والله إله كل شئ، الرحمن بجميع خلقه، والرحيم بالمؤمنين خاصة.
