Below is an example of what may be recited at the opening of the first lesson of Mishkāt al-Maṣābīḥ.
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ، وَالصَّلوةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلى سَيِّدِ الأنْبِيَاءِ والُمرْسَلِيْنَ رَسُوْلِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِيْنَ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ
فَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيْثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ، وَخَيْرُ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَشَرُّ الْاُمُوْرِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَة وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَة وَكُلَّ ضَلَالَةٍ فِيْ النَارِ
وَبِأَسَانِيْدِكُمْ المُتَّصِلَة إلى الْإمَامِ أَبِيْ عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْخَطِيْبِ الْعُمَرِي التِبْرِيْزِي رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالى رَحْمَةً وَاسِعَةً
اللهم انْفَعْنَا وَارْفَعْنَا بِعُلُوْمِهِ وَعُلُوْمِكُمْ أَجْمَعِيْنَ وَحَشَرْنَا فِيْ زُمْرَتِهِ آمِيْن يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

A simplified version of the recitation read by a student concluding the final ḥadīth of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī.
Why Imām al-Bukhārī opens his Ṣaḥīḥ with the tasmiyah alone, and how the ḥadīth of niyyah fulfils the rights of both tasmiyah and ḥamd.
The ḥadīth of Jibrīl, in which the angel questions the Prophet ﷺ about Islām, Īmān, Iḥsān, and the signs of the Hour, with phrase-by-phrase commentary.
The opening chapter of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: why Imām al-Bukhārī begins with revelation, the meaning of waḥy, and the forms it takes.
