Writing Ayah..

[Amatullah]

You only say <b>basmalah</b> when you are reciting from begining of a surah except surat at-Tawba (surah 9).

But if you are reciting an ayah from middle of a surah you don't say basmalah, you just say <i>isti'atha </i> (saying = a'uthu billahi-mena- sh-Shaytan-ir-Rajeem)

For Allah said (translation of the meaning):

"So when you want to recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one). " (16:98)
