Translation of the verse 203 from Surah Al-Baqarah : Number of verses 286 - - page 32 - Part 2.
And remember Allah during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to do good and obey Allah (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him.
And remember Allah during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him - for him who fears Allah. And fear Allah and know that unto Him you will be gathered.
(2:203) So pass these few appointed days in remembering Allah; then there is nothing wrong if one hastens on (from Mina) after two days or stays there (a day) longer, *222 " provided that he spends these days it piety. Do not disobey Him and remember that One Day you shall be mustered before Him.
*222) Whether a person returned on the 12th or on the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah from Mina to Makka during the day of tashriq (i.e. from the 10th to 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah) was immatcrial. What was of real importance was not the number of days spent at Mina but the intensity of one's devotion to God during the period of one's stay.
