عن جابر رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كُنَّا إِذَا صَعِدْنَا كَبَّرْنَا، وَإِذَا نَزَلْنَا سَبَّحْنَا. عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قالَ: كانَ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وجيُوشُهُ إِذَا عَلَوا الثَّنَايَا كَبَّرُوا، وَإِذَا هَبَطُوا سَبَّحُوا.

“Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When we ascended (a high land), we used to say Takbīr, and when we descended, we used to say Tasbīh. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his armies, ascended hills, they would say Takbīr, and when they descended, they would say Tasbīh.”
