It is narrated from Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that, in explaining the verse "And We have certainly given you seven of the oft-repeated (verses)" [Surah al-Hijr: 87] , he said: It refers to "Umm al-Qur'an" (Surah al-Fatihah). And Sa'id bin Jubayr recited it in front of me and counted Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) as the seventh verse. Sa'id bin Jubayr said that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) had recited it in front of him in the same way as I have recited it in front of you, then he said that Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim is the seventh verse. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Allah Almighty has brought this (surah and the tasmiyah) out especially for you, and did not make it manifest for anyone before you. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
