wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa bakatuhu.

Thanks for your question! As for what is recited n the opening of the prayer, I cite the following from the text Al-Ahkaam of Imam al-Haadi (as):

The best of what we heard concerning the opening and what we hold to is that the one praying faces the qibla and says: “I seek refuge in Allah—the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing—from Satan, the rejected.” Then, he says: “{I have turned my face towards the One who has formed the heavens and earth \[as an upright Muslim]. I am not amongst those who associate partners (Q. 6:79). Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. He has no partners. With this I am commanded. \ the Muslims} (Q. 6:162-163).” Then one says: “{All praise is due to Allah who has not taken a son. There is no partner who shares in \[His] dominion. He has no protector out of weakness} (Q. 17:111)” Afterwards, one recites the opening declaration of Allah’s greatness by saying: Allaahu Akbar. Then one begins the prayer with: Bismillah ar-Rahmān ar-Rahīm. Then they recite the Fātiha and an additional chapter. This is the best of what we heard concerning the opening. End quote.

And Allah knows best!
