A condition for someone who might not be able to finish
She asked whether she was allowed to make a condition at all.
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ وَمَحِلِّي مِنَ الأَرْضِ حَيْثُ حَبَسْتَنِي
Labbayka Allāhumma labbayk, wa maḥillī mina-l-arḍi ḥaythu ḥabastanī
“Here I am, O Allah, here I am. And my place of release is wherever on the earth You hold me back.”
Where this comes from
Dubāʿah bint az-Zubayr wanted to go for hajj and was not sure her body would carry her through it. She asked if she could set a condition. He said yes, and gave her the wording. Wherever she was stopped would count as the finish line.
The full narration
Ibn `Abbas said:Duba`ah, daughter of al-Zubair bin `Abd al-Muttalib, came to the Messenger of Allah(SWAS) and said Messenger of Allah (SWAS) I want to perform Hajj; may I make a provision? He said Yes. She asked how should I say? He replied : Say “ Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik (I am at Thy service, Oh Allah, I am at Thy service). The place where I took off Ihram will be where Thou restrainest me.”
