Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Baqara : 203
وَ اذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ فِیْۤ اَیَّامٍ مَّعْدُوْدٰتٍ١ؕ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ١ۚ وَ مَنْ تَاَخَّرَ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ١ۙ لِمَنِ اتَّقٰى١ؕ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ
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.
