Bulugh al-Maram 280
Narrated Anas (RA):
"The Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr and 'Umar used to begin the Salat (prayer) with Al-hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin."
[Agreed upon].
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَانُوا يَفْتَتِحُونَ اَلصَّلَاةِ بِـ (اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ اَلْعَالَمِينَ ) } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1

And Muslim added:
"They would not recite Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, neither in the beginning of the recitation nor at the end of it."
زَادَ مُسْلِمٌ: { لَا يَذْكُرُونَ : (بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ اَلرَّحِيمِ ) فِي أَوَّلِ قِرَاءَةٍ وَلَا فِي آخِرِهَا } . 1

In another narration from Ahmad, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah:
"They never used to recite Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim aloud."
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَحْمَدَ , وَالنَّسَائِيِّ وَابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ : { لَا يَجْهَرُونَ بِبِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ اَلرَّحِيم ِ } 1

And in another report from Ibn Khuzaimah:
"They used to recite Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim silently."
وَفِي أُخْرَى لِابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ : { كَانُوا يُسِرُّونَ } . 1

Bulugh al-Maram 280
The negation (of recitation of the Bismillah) in the report of Muslim can be understood in light of this report (i.e. it was recited silently), as opposed to those who declared Muslim's report as being defective.
