Chapter: Takbir (Allah Is Great Beyond Description) During the Bright Days, 11, 12 and 13 of Dhu al-Hajjah 4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ٠َاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ التَّكْبِيرُ أَيَّا٠ِنْ صَلاةِ الظُّهْرِ يَوْ٠َ النَّحْرِ إِلَى صَلاةِ الْعَصْرِ ٠ِنْ آخِرِ أَيَّا٠ِ التَّشْرِيقِ إِنْ أَنْتَ أَقَ٠ِنًى وَإِنْ أَنْتَ خَرَجْتَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ أَنْ تَقُولَ الله أَكْبَرُ الله أَكْبَرُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَالله أَكْبَرُ الله أَكْبَرُ وَلله الْحَ٠ْدُ الله أَكْبَرُ عَلَى ٠َا هَدَانَا الله أَكْبَرُ عَلَى ٠4.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Takbir in the days of Tashriq is from Salat (prayer) of al-Zuhr on the day of al-Nahr (slaughtering the offering, 10th of Dhu al-Hajjah) to Salat (prayer) of al-‘Asr of the last day of Tashriq, if you remain in Mina’.

If you leave Mina 5 you are not obligated for anything in this matter. In Takhir say, ’Allah is great beyond description, Allah is great beyond description. No one deserves worship except Allah. Allah is great beyond description. Allah is great beyond description. All praise belongs to Allah. Allah is great beyond description.

Allah is great beyond description as He has given us the cattle and all praise belongs to Allah for His testing and trials for us.’” حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/209))
