When They Ask About Hajj, Say: It’s a Sacred Journey of a Lifetime
Narrated ‘Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah:
Ibn `Abbas said, ” Usama bin Zaid rode behind the Prophet (ﷺ) from `Arafah to Al-Muzdalifa; and then from Al-Muzdalifa to Mina, Al-Fadl rode behind him.” He added, “Both of them (Usama and Al-Fadl) said, ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) was constantly reciting Talbiya till he did Rami of the Jamarat-Al-`Aqaba.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1686
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ يُونُسَ الأَيْلِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ كَانَ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عَرَفَةَ إِلَى الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ، ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ الْفَضْلَ مِنَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ إِلَى مِنًى ـ قَالَ ـ فَكِلاَهُمَا قَالاَ لَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُلَبِّي حَتَّى رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ.
NOTES 📝
1. This hadith shows the comprehensive guidance given by the Prophet ﷺ regarding the rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah through both his words and actions. The companions diligently transmitted everything they heard and witnessed from him. One of the major topics in this hadith is Rami, which is stoning the Jamaraat and one of the obligatory rites of Hajj established in the sunnah and is prescribed for everyone who intends to complete the pilgrimage (Hajj). The aim is to imitate Prophet Ibraheem (peace be upon him), when Iblees (Shaytan) appeared to him in that place to instill confusion in his mind or tempt him to sin, and Allah commanded him to throw stones at him so as to drive him away and dash his hopes.
2. According to al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar, the saying of the talbiyah (devotional call: “Labbayk Allāhumma Labbayk…”) continues until the stoning of Jamrat al-ʿAqabah on the Day of Sacrifice (10th Dhul Hijjah), after which pilgrims begin their partial release from the state of ihram. He further stated that this view is supported by reliable reports from companions like Ibn ʿAbbas and was upheld by major scholars such as al-Shafiʿi, Abu Hanifah, Ahmad, and others. However, there were differences of opinion, some believed the talbiyah should stop upon entering Makkah or approaching the standing at ʿArafah. These various positions reflect different interpretations of companion practice and the flexibility in ritual observance. – Fathul Baari, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani
