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).”’

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).’
