Bismillah before Surah

[shakibbhat]

:salam:
I have heard in the bayan of Mufti Saeed Ahmed Palanpuri that it is preferrable(mustahab) to recite bismillah after fatiha before starting a surah.
Even Mufti Ebrahim desai shares the same view. http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?1586-ANSWERED-Reciting-Bismillah-before-Surah
and i think same is the view of Hazrat thanvi (in behishti-zewer).

I would like to know the basis of it, as this practice is not found to be done by Prophet :saw: or any of the 4 Khalifas?

Should the Bismillah be recited silently or out loud if your the imam?

Silently..

If i recall correctly, saying the basmala after surah al Fatiha and before the surah is estabelished by a athar of Ibn Umar. RadiAllahu anh as recorded in Sharh Maanil Athaar, see also Ileau us Sunan.

The athar of Ibn Umar radiAllahu anh:

Sharh Maanil Athaar, hadith number 1154
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 1/412
Sunan al Bayhaqi 2/43

The son of Imaam Ahmad, Abdullaah, reported from him, in al Masaa’il (p.72), that he said, “A man says, “Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem” at the beginning of every Surah”. So it was said to my father, “I man recites al Faatihah, while he is prayer, and then when he finishes it he begins another Surah, opening it with Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem?” He [Imaam Ahmad]said, “Yes, but he does not recite it aloud...”.
This is also reported by his son Saalih in al Masaa’il (1/479,480).
