قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَتَعَجَّلَ السَّيْرَ وَ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ حِينَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَيَّ سَاعَةٍ نَنْفِرُ فَقَالَ لِي أَمَّا الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ فَلَا تَنْفِرْ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ وَ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ وَ أَمَّا الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَإِذَا ابْيَضَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَانْفِرْ عَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ يَقُولُ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَوْ سَكَتَ لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا تَعَجَّلَ وَ لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Dawood Bin Al Nu’man, from Abu Ayoub who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘We wanted to hasten the travel, and it was the night departure, where I asked him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So which time should we depart?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘As for the second day, so do not depart until the sun (starts to) decline, and it was the night of departure; and as for the third day, so when the sun whitens, so depart upon the Blessings of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Majestic is His<sup>azwj</sup> Praise is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h203"><a href="/books/quran:2#h203">[2:203]</a></a> then whoever hastens off in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever remains behind, there is no sin on him</span>. Had he<sup>azwj</sup> Remained Silent, no one would have remained except that he would have hastened, but He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt">and whoever remains behind, there is no sin on him</span>’.
