Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 1164 — The virtue of the one in ihram

It is narrated from Mirdas bin Abd al-Rahman: I came into the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he narrated this hadith to us: "There is no one who raises his voice (in the talbiyah of Hajj or in the remembrance of Allah), 'yuhillu' (calls out), except that Allah Almighty says to him: 'Receive glad tidings,' 'abshir' (rejoice)." Hearing this, Mirdas's paternal uncle submitted: "O Abu Muhammad! By Allah, Allah Almighty gives glad tidings (on such an occasion) of nothing but Paradise." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked: "O my nephew, who are you?" He submitted: "I am Mirdas bin Shaddad al-Junaydi." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O my nephew! The best of our predecessors used to adhere to this way and practice, one after another."
