عَنِ ابْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ قَالَ: غَدَوْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ مِنًى إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ، فَكَانَ يُلَبِّي، قَالَ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ رَجُلًا آدَمَ، لَهُ ضَفْرَانِ عَلَيْهِ مَسْحَةُ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ، فَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ غَوْغَاءُ مِنْ غَوْغَاءِ النَّاسِ، قَالُوا: يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ! إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ لَيْسَ يَوْمَ تَلْبِيَةٍ إِنَّمَا هُوَ يَوْمُ تَكْبِيرٍ، قَالَ: فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: أَجَهَلُ النَّاسُ أَمْ نَسُوا؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا تَرَكَ التَّلْبِيَةَ حَتَّى رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُخْلِطَهَا بِتَكْبِيرٍ أَوْ تَهْلِيلٍ
Ibn Sanjarah says: We went from Mina to Arafat with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was reciting the Talbiyah aloud. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) had a wheat-colored complexion, he had two locks of hair on his head, and his appearance was like that of villagers. Hearing his voice of Talbiyah, the common simple people started making noise and said: "O villager! Today is not the day of Talbiyah, it is the day of Takbirat." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) looked towards me and said: "Did the people not know at all, or have they forgotten?" By the One Who sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth, I myself was going with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not abandon the Talbiyah until the stoning of Jamrah 'Aqabah. However, during this time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would also say 'Allahu Akbar' and 'La ilaha illallah'.
