should raise her voice (1) only so that her companion can hear her. It is recommended to recite it frequently whenever the circumstances change—such as after the prescribed prayers, and likewise (2) when ascending a rise, descending a valley, hearing another pilgrim proclaim the talbiyah, when night falls or day breaks (3), or when the caravans meet; the same applies after committing something that has been prohibited.
It has been narrated (4): “Whoever continues to recite the talbiyah until the sun sets will reach the evening forgiven.” (5)
If, after the talbiyah (6), one makes supplication—sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asking Allah for His pleasure and for Paradise, and seeking refuge, by His mercy, from His wrath and from the Fire (7)—that is commendable (8).
(1) MSS A and B read: “al-sawt” (the voice).
(2) MS C adds the particle “ma.”
(3) MS C reads: “aw al-nahar” (or the day).
(4) MSS C and D read: “annahu” (that he).
(5) Reported by Ahmad, no. 15008, and Ibn Majah, no. 2925, from Jabir ibn Abd Allah: the Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever spends a day in ihram continually proclaiming the talbiyah until sunset, his sins set with the sun and he becomes as sinless as on the day his mother bore him.” Al-Albani judged the hadith weak.
(6) MS B reads: “aqib” (after).
(7) The phrase “His wrath and the Fire” appears in MSS A and B simply as “the Fire.”
(8) Ibn Taymiyyah, Sharh al-Umda, 4/419: “This is based on the report narrated from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad: ‘It was recommended for a man, once he had finished the talbiyah, to invoke blessings upon the Prophet.’”
