Surat Bara'ah, also called Surat al-Tawbah, differs from the other surahs in the rule of opening basmalah. When a continuous recitation reaches the beginning of this surah, basmalah is not recited there.
Between ordinary surahs: basmalah is read before the next surah.
On reaching the opening of Bara'ah: basmalah is not read at that transition.
For a completely new session beginning at the opening of Bara'ah, some scholars also hold the view that basmalah should not be read. This distinction preserves the source's treatment of continuous recitation and a fresh start rather than presenting them as one undifferentiated case.
