It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Khalad (may Allah be pleased with him) that Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said: You will become one who recites the Talbiyah abundantly and one who sheds the blood of many animals. The meaning of ‘Ajj’ is reciting the Talbiyah, and the meaning of ‘Thajj’ is slaughtering camels.

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me and said: O Muhammad! Command your companions to proclaim the Talbiyah in a loud voice, for indeed it is among the symbols and signs of this religion.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibreel (peace be upon him) has commanded me to proclaim the Talbiyah aloud, for it is among the rites and symbols of Hajj.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said to me that I should recite the Talbiyah aloud.
