15. Ḥajj (Major Pilgrimage)
١٥۔ كتاب الحج
As we proceeded in the morning along with AUbs Messenger ﷺ from Mina to 'Arafat, some of us prounced Talbiya, and some pronounced Takbir (Allah-o-Akbar).
غَدَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مِنًى إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ مِنَّا الْمُلَبِّي وَمِنَّا الْمُكَبِّرُ
We were along with Messenger of Allah (way peace he upon him) in the morning of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'l-Hijja). Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us Tahlil La ilaha ill-Allah). And to those of us who pronounced Takbir, I said: By Allah, how strange it is that you did not care to ask him: What did you see Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing (on this occasion)?
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَدَاةِ عَرَفَةَ فَمِنَّا الْمُكَبِّرُ وَمِنَّا الْمُهَلِّلُ فَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنُكَبِّرُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَعَجَبًا مِنْكُمْ كَيْفَ لَمْ تَقُولُوا لَهُ مَاذَا رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ
What did you do on this day in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Thereupon he said: One of us pronounced Tahlil, and he met with no disapproval, and one of us pronounced Takbir, and he also met with no disapproval.
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُمَا غَادِيَانِ مِنْ مِنًى إِلَى عَرَفَةَ كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُهِلُّ الْمُهِلُّ مِنَّا فَلاَ يُنْكَرُ عَلَيْهِ وَيُكَبِّرُ الْمُكَبِّرُ مِنَّا فَلاَ يُنْكَرُ عَلَيْهِ
I said to Anas b. Malik in the morning of 'Arafa: What do you say as to pronouncing Talbiya on this day? He said: I travelled with Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and his Companions in this journey. Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us pronounced Tahlil, and none of us found fault with his companion.
سِرْتُ هَذَا الْمَسِيرَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَمِنَّا الْمُكَبِّرُ وَمِنَّا الْمُهَلِّلُ وَلاَ يَعِيبُ أَحَدُنَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ
