“Jibra’il came to me and told me to command my Companions to raise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آمُرَ أَصْحَابِي أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالإِهْلاَلِ  

“Jibril came to me and said: ‘O Muhammad! Tell your Companions to raise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah, for it is one of the symbols of Hajj.’”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ شِعَارِ الْحَجِّ  

“Which actions are best?” He said: “Raising one’s voice and slaughtering the sacrificial animal.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ أَىُّ الأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الْعَجُّ وَالثَّجُّ
