Muhammad bin Abi Bakr al-Thaqafi (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) at the time when both of them were going from Mina to Arafat in the morning: "What would you do with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day?" He replied: "Some of us would recite the Talbiyah and it would not be objected to, and some of us would recite the Takbir and it would not be objected to."
