2918. It was narrated from Nâfi', that Ibn 'Umar said: "I learned the Talbiyah from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ who said: Labbaika Allâhumma labbaik, labbaika lâ sharika laka labbaik. Innal-hamda wan-ni'mata laka, wal-mulk. Lâ sharika laka (Here I am, O Allâh,
here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner)." He said: "And Ibn 'Umar used to add: Labbaika labbaika labbaika wa sa'daika wal-khairu fi yadaika, labbaika waraghba'u ilaika wal-'amal (Here I am, here I am, here I am, and at Your service; all good is in Your Hands, here I am, seeking Your pleasure and striving for Your sake)." (Sahih)

Commentary
Reciting Talbiyah is among the great rites of Hajj. It shows the great love, devotion and strong determination to endure all kind of hardships for Allāh. Abandoning an obligation is a cause of torment.
Great emphasis should be given to saying the Talbiyah after prayers, while riding on a mount, and going up on the way.
Uttering Labbaik by all Muslims at one time proves their equality before Allāh and their need to seek Allāh's pleasure. All the discriminations based on color, race, language and country are insignificant compared to the universal message of Islam.
