Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ قَالَ غَدَوْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ مِنًى إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ فَكَانَ يُلَبِّي قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ رَجُلًا آدَمَ لَهُ ضَفْرَانِ عَلَيْهِ مَسْحَةُ أَهْلِ الْ
بَادِيَةِ فَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ غَوْغَاءُ مِنْ غَوْغَاءِ النَّاسِ قَالُوا يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ يَوْمَ تَلْبِيَةٍ إِنَّمَا هُوَ يَوْمُ تَكْبِيرٍ قَالَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَجَهِلَ النَّاسُ أَمْ نَسُوا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا تَرَكَ التَّلْبِيَةَ حَتَّى رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَخْلِطَهَا بِتَكْبِيرٍ أَوْ تَهْلِيلٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Safwan ibn 'Isa, from al-Harith ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Mujahid, from Ibn Sakhbara — that he said: 'I walked early in the morning with 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud from Mina to 'Arafat, and he was reciting the talbiya. 'Abdullah was a dark-complexioned man with two braids, with the look of a desert dweller. A rabble of people gathered around him and said: O Bedouin, this is not a day for talbiya — this is a day for takbir! At that, he turned to me and said: Have the people become ignorant, or have they forgotten? By the One who sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with the truth, I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he never abandoned the talbiya until he threw the jamra of 'Aqaba — except that he would intersperse it with takbir and tahlil.'
