Bismillah being divinely revealed
Question
Is it true that basmala was divinely revealed by Allah Ta'ala to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) (except in surah naml where it is a verse) and whoever doubts that it might not have been revealed by Allah Ta'ala is a kaafir? I am not talking about the bismillahir rahmanir raheem being a Quraanic verse or part of Quraan, but were those words divinely revealed by Allah Ta'ala and is there tawatur on that?
Answer
It was revealed to mark the separation between surahs.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
