Narrated as-Sa'ib al-Ansari:

Khalid ibn as-Sa'ib al-Ansari on his father's authority reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Gabriel came to me and commanded me to order my Companions to raise their voices in talbiyah.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ خَلاَّدِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

‏ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آمُرَ أَصْحَابِي وَمَنْ مَعِي أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالإِهْلاَلِ - أَوْ قَالَ - بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ ‏

‏ ‏.‏ يُرِيدُ أَحَدَهُمَا ‏.‏

Talbiyah is one of the rituals of pilgrimage, and raising the voice with it is a demonstration of this great ritual.In this Hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me and commanded me," meaning he conveyed to me a command from Allah, and this indicates the greatness of this matter, "to instruct my Companions and those with me to raise their voices," meaning within the limits of capability without harm. "with the Ihlal, or he said: with the Talbiyah": Ihlal is raising the voice with the Talbiyah, and the Talbiyah is saying: Here I am, O Allah, here I am (Labbayka Allahumma labbayk). His saying: "intending one of them," means that the narrator of the Hadith reported in his narration one of the two terms: Ihlal or Talbiyah; out of uncertainty..
