Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 13966 — How the talbiyah is said

Al-Aswad said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) departed (from Arafat) on the evening of Arafah riding a red camel, and he had pulled in the head of his mount so far that it almost touched the middle of the saddle. He was reciting the talbiyah with these three phrases: 'Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, inna al-hamda wa al-ni'mata lak' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am; here I am, You have no partner, here I am; truly all praise and blessing are Yours). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was moving at a brisk pace, and whenever he passed by a hill he would raise his hands and say the takbir.
