In this Hadith, Ibn Umar speaks from sight. He says he saw the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم riding his camel at Dhu'l-Hulaifa, then pronouncing Talbiya when the animal stood up with him. The wording is direct and visual, which makes the narration strong for understanding the timing of Talbiya in this journey. It does not discuss every rule of Hajj, nor does it list the full Talbiya words. Its focus is the observed moment: riding at Dhu'l-Hulaifa and beginning Talbiya as the mount stood. For someone searching for the Dhu'l-Hulaifa Talbiya hadith, this report gives a clear scene from Ibn Umar’s own observation.
