means 'Loud calling' because a Muhrim has to recite Talbiya

those facing south (Yemen) and regarding the tanned leather
shoes, no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes

Muhammad, Allah's Apostle , and he came to us with self-evident
truth and guidance. So we accepted his teaching, believed and
followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to sleep in peace

so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The
most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till
the Prophet prostrated and then placed it on his back between
his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish
I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started
laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Apostle was in
prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima
(Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's abdominal
contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said
thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl
and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them
as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were
accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet said, "O Allah!
Punish Abu Jahl, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid
bin 'Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and 'Uqba bin Al Mu'it (and he

ilaika. La Malja' wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Allahumma
amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta wa bina-biyika-l ladhi arsalta"
(O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my affairs to You
and depend upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear
of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of
protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your
Book (the Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet
(Muhammad) whom You have sent). Then if you die on that very
night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the religion of Islam).
Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep)."
I repeated it before the Prophet and when I reached "Allahumma
amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta (O Allah I believe in Your
Book which You have revealed)." I said, "Wa-rasulika (and your
Apostle)." The Prophet said, "No, (but say): 'Wanabiyika-l-ladhi
arsalta (Your Prophet whom You have sent), instead."
