Remember Allah During the Appointed Days~6 But if anyone hastens To leave in two days. There is no blame on him.

223. After the Pilgrimage. in Pagan times. the pilgrims used to gather in assemblies in which the praises of ancestors were sung. As the whole of the pilgrimage rites were purified in Islam. so this aftermath of the Pilgrimage was also purified. It was required from pilgrims to stay on two or three days after the Day of Sacrifice. but they must use them in prayer and praise to Allah. See ii. 203 below. 224. If you hasten to get all the good things of the world. and only think of them and pray for them. you would lose the higher things of the future. The proper Muslim attitude is neither to renounce this world nor to be so engrossed in it as to forget the future life. 225. Our spiritual account is mounting up. both on the debit and credit side. In worldly accounts, both our profits and our losses may be delayed. But in Allah's books there is no delay. Our actions go before us. (See ii. 95. n.)

226. The Appointed Days: the three days after the tenth, when the Pilgrims stay on in the Valley of Mina for prayer and praise. They are the days of Tashriq (see ii. 200. n. 223). It is optional for pilgrims to leave on the second or third day.
