Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was drawn out. He (peace be upon him) would recite "Bismillah" in a drawn-out manner. He would recite the word "Ar-Rahman" in a drawn-out manner. He would recite the word "Ar-Raheem" in a drawn-out manner.
