[6] Also see an additional Hadith in Appendix I: Mertis of Bismillah: و روي عن النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) قال: «من قرأ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ بنى الله له في الجنة سبعين ألف قصر من ياقوتة حمراء، في كل قصر سبعون ألف بيت من لؤلؤة بيضاء، في كل بيت سبعون ألف سرير من زبرجدة خضراء، فوق كل سرير سبعون ألف فراش من سندس و إستبرق، و عليه زوجة من حور العين، و لها سبعون ألف ذؤابة، مكللة بالدر و الياقوت، And it has been reported from the Prophet -saww having said: Whoever recites ‘ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ’ ’, Allah -azwj would Build for him in the Paradise seventy thousand castles of red rubies.
In each castle would be seventy thousand houses of white pearls. In each house would be seventy thousand beds of green emeralds. On top of each of the beds would be mattresses of silk and brocade upon which would be a wife from the beautiful Houries, and she would have seventy thousand locks of hair crowned with coral and rubies. مكتوب على خدها الأيمن: محمد رسول الله، و على خدها الأيسر: علي ولي الله، و على جبينها الحسن، و على ذقنها: الحسين، و على شفتيها: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ».
قلت: يا رسول الله، لمن هذه الكرامة؟ قال: لمن يقول بالحرمة و التعظيم: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ». It will be written on her (Houries) right cheek, ‘محمد رسول الله’ (Muhammad -saww the Rasool ‑saww of Allah -azwj ), and upon her left cheek, ‘علي ولي الله’ (Ali -asws the Guardian from Allah -azwj ), and upon her forehead, ‘الحسن’ (Al-Hassan -asws ), and upon her chin, ‘الحسين’ (Al-Husayn -asws ), and upon her lips, ‘بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم’. I said, ‘O Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj !
For whom would be this Prestige?’ He -saww said: ‘For the one who says, ‘بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم’ with sanctity and veneration’. [7] وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ [بْنُ عَلِيٍ] ع: قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ إِنَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ» آيَةٌ مِنْ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَ هِيَ سَبْعُ آيَاتٍ تَمَامُهَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ.
And Al-Hassan -asws Bin Ali -asws said that Amir-Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘The Verse بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ ( In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] ) is one of the Verses of the ‘Opening of the Book’ which consists of seven Verses, including this one.
