Transliteration:( Wa azzin fin naasi bil Hajji yaatooka rijaalanw wa 'alaa kulli daamiriny yaateena min kulli fajjin 'ameeq )
59. Thus Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) stood on Mount Abu Qubais, and called out once in all four directions that "Oh servants of Allah Almighty come towards the House of Allah".
Every soul that would be born until Qiyamah heard this call. The Number of times each soul responded with LABBAIK I am present, that is the number of Hajj the person would be performing.
Any soul which had remained silent will not be performing Hajj (Tafseer Roohul Manan Tafseer Khazainal Irfaan).
From this, we learn that calling in absentia from far is permissible. Thus we can say YA RASOOL ALLAH. Hazrat Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) was called Hazrat Saria from Madina Munawwarah, although he engaged in Holy War in Nihawand. Or this is a was command to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم to declare the obligation of Hajj to the believers.
60. This tells us that going to the Holy Ka'ba is like going to Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace). Furthermore, the effect of the call of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) would remain until the Day of Qiyamah.
Also, this is a miracle of our beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم that voice will - reach East and West and would be heard by those present and those not yet in existence.
Such a miracle has been made manifest by some saints as well. It should be remembered that the sacred Ka'ba has been constructed five times: Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) first constructed it, then by Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace): then by Qureish about fifteen years prior to the prophethood of the Holy Prophet, thereafter by Hazrat Abdullah ibn Zubair (May Allah be pleased with him) and finally by Hajjaj bin Yusuf. The present structure of the Ka'ba is the construction of Hajjaj (Tafseer Roohul Manani).
61. From this we learn that the walking Hajj is superior to Hajj in conveyance. Hajj performed through hardship is superior to Hajj done in comfort and the Hajj of those who come from far is superior to the Hajj performed by those who live nearby (Tafseer Roohul Ma'ani).

46. The expression lean camels has been deliberately used to depict the picture of the camels of pilgrims coming from far off places to perform Hajj.
47. In my opinion the address to Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) comes to an end with (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 27-29) have been added to emphasize and give further instructions for the performance of Hajj. We have based this opinion on the use of the epithet Ancient House of the Kabah. It could not have been used at the time when Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) built it. For further details about the construction of the Kabah see (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 125-129); (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 96-97); and (Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 35-41).
