The talbiyah

A confirmed sunnah according to the majority. Men raise their voices with it; women say it quietly, so that they and those beside them can hear.

The steps

1. “Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa al-ni‘mata laka wa al-mulk, la sharika lak.” Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. All praise and blessings are Yours, and the dominion. You have no partner.
2. Say it often from entering ihram until you begin tawaf.
3. Its meaning: answering You again and again, and remaining in Your obedience.

The evidence

The talbiyah of the Prophet ﷺ as narrated by Ibn Umar (al-Bukhari 1549, Muslim 1184).
