سُوْرَةُ البَقَرَةِ
Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 203
۞ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَٰتٍ ۚ فَمَن تَعَجَّلَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ لِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿203﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And remember Allâh 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 Allâh (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
23. 1. The intended meaning is the Days of Tashreeq, that is, the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah. In these days, the remembrance of Allah, that is, reciting the Takbeerat aloud, is Sunnah—not only after the obligatory prayers (as is commonly believed based on a weak hadith), but rather, these Takbeerat should be recited at all times. When throwing the pebbles, it is Sunnah to recite Takbeer with each pebble. (اَ للّٰہُ اَکبَرْ ، اللّٰہُ اَکبَر، ْ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا، واللّٰہُ اَکبَر، اللّٰہُ اَکبَر وَ لِلّٰہِ الْحَمْدُہ)
23. 2. Performing Rami Jamrat (throwing pebbles at the Jamrat) for three days is more virtuous, but if someone throws the pebbles for two days (the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijjah) and then returns, that is also permissible.
