عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلْمَةَ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: لَبَّيْكَ ذَا الْمَعَارِجِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَذُو الْمَعَارِجِ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا نَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
Syedna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) heard a man calling out the talbiyah in this way: “Labbayk Dha al-Ma’arij” (“Here I am, O Possessor of the Heights!”). Upon hearing this, Syedna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty is the Possessor of the Heights, but the fact is that we did not use such words with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
