Muhammad bin Abu Bakr (RA) al-Thaqafi asked Anas bin Malik (RA) , while on their way from Mina to 'Arafa in the morning: What did you do on this day in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ? Thereupon he said: One of us pronounced Tahlil, and he met with no disapproval, and one of us pronounced Takbir, and he also met with no disapproval.

Muhammad bin Abu Bakr (RA) reported: I said to Anas bin Malik (RA) in the morning of 'Arafa: What do you say as to pronouncing Talbiya on this day? He said: I travelled with Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) and his Companions in this journey. Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us pronounced Tahlil, and none of us found fault with his companion.
