1. [1/387] al-Kafi: A number of our companions from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid from al-Qasim b. Yahya from his grandfather al-Hasan b. Rashid from Abdallah b. Sinan who said
I asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام about the interpretation of Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim. He said: The Ba is the Baha (Splendor) of Allah, the Sin is the Sana (Exaltedness) of Allah, and the Mim is the Majd (Magnificence) of Allah.

سألت أبا عبدالله عليه السلام عن تفسير بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ قال: الباء بهاء الله والسين سناء الله والميم مجد الله
