performs Ḥajj, Allah Almighty saves him from punishment. The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Whoever dies in either of the two sacred precincts (Makkah or Madinah) will receive my intercession on the Day of Judgement, and he will be raised with those who are protected on that day.”^[1]

Recital of the talbiyyah on the Day of Judgement

Sayyidunā Wahb b. Munabbih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states that it is written in the Tawrah (the divine book revealed to Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم):

On the Day of Judgement, Allah Almighty will give gold chains to 700,000 of His close angels, and each of them will be carrying a gold chain. Allah Almighty will command them to bring the KaꜤbah with these gold chains to the Plain of Assembly. The angels will tie the KaꜤbah with the gold chains, and then, one angel will say, “O KaꜤbah, proceed!”

The KaꜤbah will reply, “I will not go until my request is fulfilled.”

An angel will exclaim, “Ask! Your request will be fulfilled.”

The KaꜤbah will request in the court of Allah Almighty, “O Allah! Accept my intercession in favour of the believers buried in my vicinity.”

The KaꜤbah will hear the reply, “I have fulfilled your request.”

The deceased buried in Makkah will be raised and their faces will be bright. They will be gathered near the KaꜤbah in a state of iḥrām chanting the talbiyyah.

The angels will say, “O KaꜤbah, now proceed! Your request has been heard.”
