Chapter on the First and Final Departure From Mina
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلاٰ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلاٰ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ » قَالَ «لَيْسَ هُوَ عَلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ وَاسِعٌ إِنْ شَاءَ صَنَعَ ذَا وَ إِنْ شَاءَ صَنَعَ ذَا لَكِنَّهُ يَرْجِعُ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ لاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ ذَنْبَ لَهُ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about the verse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty: "Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:203) Imam عليه السلام replied: "It does not mean that it is merely a choice—whether one chooses to do this or that. Rather, it means that the person returns forgiven, with no sin upon him and no blame remaining for him."
