Ibn Kathir Tafsir of Surah: 1 Ayah: 1 of the Glorious Qur'an
The Virtue of Al-Fatihah
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad, that a person who was riding behind the
Prophet said, "The Prophet's animal tripped, so I said, `Cursed Shaytan.'
The Prophet said,
(Do not say, 'Cursed Shaytan,' for if you say these words, Satan becomes
arrogant and says, 'With my strength I made him fall.' When you say,
'Bismillah,' Satan will become as small as a fly.)
Further, An-Nasa'i recorded in his book Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, and also Ibn
Marduwyah in his Tafsir that Usamah bin `Umayr said, "I was riding behind
the Prophet...'' and he mentioned the rest of the above Hadith. The
Prophet
said in this narration,
(Do not say these words, because then Satan becomes larger; as large as a
house. Rather, say, 'Bismillah,' because Satan then becomes as small as a
fly.)
