أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، - وَهُوَ الثَّقَفِيُّ - قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ غَدَاةَ عَرَفَةَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي التَّلْبِيَةِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ قَالَ سِرْتُ هَذَا الْمَسِيرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَكَانَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُهِلُّ وَمِنْهُمُ الْمُكَبِّرُ فَلاَ يُنْكِرُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ .
Muhmmad bin Abi Abkr Narrated from:
I said to Anas on the morning of Arafat: 'What do you say about the Talbiyah on this day?' I said: 'I walked this path with the Messenger of Allah and his Companions. Some of them recited the Talbiyah and some recited the Takbir, and none of them denounced any other.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3001
This Hadith focuses on Talbiyah and Takbir at Arafat during Hajj. Muhammad bin Abi Bakr asked Anas about reciting the Talbiyah on the morning of Arafat. Anas answered by describing what he saw while walking this path with the Messenger of Allah and his Companions. Some Companions recited the Talbiyah, while others recited the Takbir. The key point is that none of them denounced the other. This gives a simple lesson about Hajj worship: when a practice is seen among the Companions in this setting, people should not be quick to blame one another over it. The Hadith also shows calm respect among Muslims during sacred rites.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Companions showed tolerance in acts of remembrance during Arafat.
- Talbiyah and Takbir were both heard on that day in this narration.
- Muslims should avoid blaming others where valid practice is shown in the Sunnah.
