حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ سَوَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا حَجَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَكُنَّا نُلَبِّي عَنِ النِّسَاءِ وَنَرْمِي عَنِ الصِّبْيَانِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ أَجْمَعَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لاَ يُلَبِّي عَنْهَا غَيْرُهَا بَلْ هِيَ تُلَبِّي عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَيُكْرَهُ لَهَا رَفْعُ الصَّوْتِ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ .

Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Wasiti said: I heard Ibn Numayr narrate, from Ash'ath ibn Sawwar, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, who said: When we performed Hajj with the Prophet, we would recite the talbiyah on behalf of women and throw the pebbles on behalf of children.
Abu Isa said: This is a gharib hadith, known only through this route. The scholars unanimously agree that no one else recites the talbiyah on behalf of a woman; she recites it herself, though it is disliked for her to raise her voice when doing so.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The commentary explicitly rejects proxy talbiyah for women, notwithstanding the wording of the report.
