1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ لِمَ جُعِلَتِ التَّلْبِيَةُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنْ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجالاً وَعَلى‏ كُلِّ ضامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ فَنَادَى فَأُجِيبَ مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ يُلَبُّونَ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about why Talbiyah is required. He (the Imam) said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent revelation to Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam that said, ‘Call people for al-Hajj. They will come to you on foot and on lean camels from all directions.’ He called and his call was answered from all directions with al-Talbiyah (here I am O Lord, to obey Your command).”’

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ تَلْبِيَةُ الأَخْرَسِ وَتَشَهُّدُهُ وَقِرَاءَتُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي الصَّلاةِ تَحْرِيكُ لِسَانِهِ وَإِشَارَتُهُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has narrated from his father who has said, ‘Talbiyah of a speechless person, his testimony and reading al-Quran in Salat (prayer) is by moving his tongue and making gestures with his finger.’”

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr all from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who said, “In Talbiyah (say): ‘Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, here I am, O Lord. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O You who has no partners, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. All praise belongs to You, all bounties are from You, as well as the Kingdom, You have no partners, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. O Possessor of Highness, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O the One who calls to the House of peace, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O forgiver of sins, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O the One who deserves Talbiyah, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O Possessor of Glory and Grace here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O the One who is feared and desired and sought. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command as Your servant son of Your servant, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command. Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, O Gracious, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command.’ Say this after every obligatory Salat (prayer) or optional, and when embarking on your camel, climbing a higher place or climbing down a hill, passing through a valley or passing by one riding, or when waking up from sleep during the hours of dawn, and say it very often as much as you can. Say it aloud. If you left out some of it, it is not harmful except that all of it is more virtuous.’ “You must take notice that four Talbiyah are obligatory. The ones that are at the beginning of this Hadith are obligatory. They are expressions about oneness of Allah and the Messengers of Allah, have said them and many of the high status ones. The Messenger of Allah (sw) would say them very often. The first one who said Talbiyah was Ibrahim (AS) who said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, calls you to perform al-Hajj of His House.’ No one of those who had a covenant with Him to fulfill their part while in the back of man or womb of woman but that they answered the call with al-Talbiyah (Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command).’

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from Asad ibn abu al-’A‘la’ from ibn al-Fudayl from the one who had seen abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), in the state of Ihram uncovered his back in the sun while saying, ‘Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command, among the sinners, here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command.”

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لَمَّا أَحْرَمَ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ لَهُ مُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ بِالْعَجِّ وَالثَّجِّ وَالْعَجُّ رَفْعُ الصَّوْتِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ وَالثَّجُّ نَحْرُ الْبُدْنِ وَقَالَ قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الله مَا بَلَغْنَا الرَّوْحَاءَ حَتَّى بَحَّتْ أَصْوَاتُنَا.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘When the Messenger of Allah (sw) assumed the state of Ihram, Jibril (AS) came to him. He said to him, “Instruct your followers to do al-‘Ajj and al-Thajj. Al-'Ajj means raising one's voice with Talbiyah, and al-Thajj means sacrificing a camel.” Jabir ibn ‘Abdillah has said that as soon as we arrived at al-Rawha, our voices became harsh.’”

6ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُلَبِّيَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ طُهْرٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ.

6. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful to say Talbiyah without Tahur (cleansing, with wudu’ or Ghusl (bath)) in all conditions.’”

8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ رِجَالٍ شَتَّى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَنْ لَبَّى فِي إِحْرَامِهِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً إِيمَاناً وَاحْتِسَاباً أَشْهَدَ الله لَهُ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ بِبَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ وَبَرَاءَةٍ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ibn Faddal from many men who have said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has stated this Hadith. ‘Whoever says Talbiyah seventy times out of belief and considering it a good deed Allah makes a million angels to bear witness to his freedom from the fire and hypocrisy.’”
