825. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "The Prophet would say the following for the Talbiyah: "Labbaik Allāhumma labbaik. labbaik lā sharīka laka labbaik. Innal-ḥamda wan-ni'mata laka wal-mulk, lā sharīka laka." ('I respond to Your call O Allāh! I respond to Your call, You have no partner, I respond to Your call. All praise, thanks and blessings are for You. All sovereignty is for You. And You have no partners with You).'" (Sahīh) Abū 'Eisā said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, Jābir, ‘Āishah, Ibn ‘Abbās, and Abū Hurairah. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn ‘Umar is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. It is acted upon according to [some of] the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq. Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “If an addition exalting Allāh is added, then there is no harm – if Allāh wills. To me it is recommended to keep to the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.” And Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “We only say that there is no harm in an addition of exaltation of Allāh because of what has been related from Ibn ‘Umar, and he memorized the Talbiyah from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then in his Talbiyah, Ibn ‘Umar himself added: (Labbaika waraghba’u ilaika wal-‘amal) ‘I respond to your Call, and the requests and deeds are for You.’”
