وَحَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ غَدَاةَ عَرَفَةَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي التَّلْبِيَةِ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ قَالَ سِرْتُ هَذَا الْمَسِيرَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَمِنَّا الْمُكَبِّرُ وَمِنَّا الْمُهَلِّلُ وَلاَ يَعِيبُ أَحَدُنَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ ‏.‏

I said to Anas b. Malik in the morning of 'Arafa: What do you say as to pronouncing Talbiya on this day? He said: I travelled with Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and his Companions in this journey. Some of us pronounced Takbir and some of us pronounced Tahlil, and none of us found fault with his companion.

Narrated by Muhammad b. Abu Bakr reported:

Context

This reflects the diversity of expressions in worship and the acceptance of varied practices within the same community, promoting unity despite differences.

Modern Application

۞ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَوِ ٱعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًۭا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.
