The Virtue of Saying Bismillah
Incidents related to the recitation of Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
The Barakah (blessings) of Bismillah when it was revealed.
Sayyidina Jaabir (رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ) is reported to have said that when Bismillaahir Rahmanir Raheem was revealed, the clouds gave way by moving to the East, the winds ceased blowing, the oceans became calm, the creatures prepared themselves to listen, the shaytaan got pelted with fire from the heavens and Allah Ta'ala, swearing an oath by His honour, declared: Anyone who says this name of mine (i.e.. Bismillaahir Rahmanir Raheem) upon anything, I will surely impart barakah in that thing, (Durre Manthoor and Ibne Katheer)
