Abdullah bin 'Umar reported on the authority of his father (RA) : We were along with Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) in the morning of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'l-Hijja). Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us Tahlil (La ilaha ill-Allah). And to those of us who pronounced Takbir, I said: By Allah, how strange it is that you did not care to ask him: What did you see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) doing (on this occasion)?

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English translation:
On the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, after sunrise, the pilgrims depart from Mina towards Arafat, and this is an agreed-upon (muttafaq alayh) issue. While proceeding, it is permissible to recite the talbiyah (“Labbayk”) as well as to say the takbirs, but the primary practice is the talbiyah; that is, the talbiyah should be recited abundantly. Takbirs may also be recited intermittently. The recitation of the talbiyah continues until the stoning (rami) of Jamrah al-‘Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr).
