Chapter on the Reasons Behind Hajj
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 1
وَ "إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى جَعَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَجَعَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ الْحَرَمِ، وَجَعَلَ الْحَرَمَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا. وَإِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ التَّلْبِيَةُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمَّا قَالَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ" وَأَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا "فَنَادَى فَأُجِيبَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ يُلَبُّونَ".
"Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted, made the Kaaba the Qibla for the people of the mosque, and He made the mosque the Qibla for the people of the sanctuary, and He made the sanctuary the Qibla for the people of the world. And the Talbiyah was instituted because when Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, said to Ibrahim, peace be upon him: 'And proclaim the Hajj to the people; they will come to you on foot' (Surah Al-Hajj 22:27), he called out, and it was answered by people from every distant pass, responding with the Talbiyah."
