Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَسْتَفْتِحُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِرَاءَةَ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ.

Qatadah said: 'I asked Anas ibn Malik what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to begin his recitation with.' He said: 'You are asking me about something that no one has asked me about.'
