Sūrat Barāʾah is another name for al-Tawbah. The book explicitly excludes its opening from the usual basmalah at the beginning of a sūrah, referring as well to a line of al-Shāṭibī's verse.
This is an opening-of-the-sūrah exception. It must not be carelessly generalized to reading from somewhere within that sūrah; the book treats that separately.
