that al-Khalīl ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbār informed us; ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn, the judge, related to us; Abū Bakr al-Naqqāsh in turn told us; al-Qāsim ibn al-Layth reported to us; al-Muʿāfā ibn Sulaymān narrated to us; Fulayḥ narrated, on the authority of Nāfiʿ, who said:
“ʿAbd Allāh (ibn ʿUmar) used to pronounce the talbiyah frequently, raising his voice while doing so, and he would say, ‘Part of the perfection of the pilgrimage is to raise one’s voice with the talbiyah.’” ⦗1⦘
He passed away on the 4th of Shaʿbān in 369 AH.
168 – al-Ṣuʿlūkī, Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān ibn Muḥammad
The imām, erudite scholar, and man of many disciplines, Abū Sahl Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān ibn Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān ibn Hārūn, the Ḥanafī ⦗2⦘, al-ʿIjlī, known as al-Ṣuʿlūkī of Nīshāpūr, the jurist,
(1) Fulayh ibn Sulayman is in the chain; his memory was weak, whereas the remaining transmitters are trustworthy. Ibn Abi Shaybah also transmits—through a sound isnad, as Ibn Hajar states in Fath al-Bari—from Bakr ibn Abdillah al-Mazani: “I was with Ibn Umar, and he pronounced the talbiyah so loudly that I could hear it between the two mountains.”
Further corroboration comes from the report of al-Saib: the Messenger of Allah said, “Jibril came to me and ordered me to instruct my Companions to raise their voices when pronouncing the ihram formula (tahlil and talbiyah).”
Recorded by Malik 1/309-310; Abu Dawud 1814; al-Tirmidhi 829 (who declared it sound); al-Nasa i, 22; Ibn Majah 2922; Ibn Khuzaymah 2625, 2627; and al-Hakim 1/450.
Another narration, from Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, states that the Prophet said, “Jibril came to me and said: O Muhammad, command your Companions to raise their voices with the talbiyah, for it is one of the symbols of the Hajj.”
Reported by Ahmad 5/192 and Ibn Majah 2923; authenticated by Ibn Khuzaymah 2628, 2629; Ibn Hibban 974; and al-Hakim 1/450, with adh-Dhahabi concurring.
