475. The numbered days' in this verse refers to the 'Days of Tashreeq' which begin from Fajr of the 9th of Zil Hajj to the Asr of the 13th day of Zil-Hajj. During these days (10th - 13th of Zil Haji) proclaim the Remembrance of Allah at Mina. The word zikr or remembrance refers to Proclaiming of the Glory of Allah in the form of Takbeer, because the actual Talbiya of Haj is completed on the 10th of Zil Hajj after stoning the Jamratul Ugba Talbiya is reciting
of Labbaik during Hajj.
476. From this we learn that it is permissible for the pilgrims to return from Mina on either the 12th of Zil Haj - but it is better to return on the 13th. One can also perform Ramee (stoning of the devils) before the Zawaal of the 13th of Zil Hajj as explained in Books of Jurisprudence. However, the staying at Mina on the 13th should only be to gain nearness of Allah (Taqwa) and not for any personal glory.
The tafsir of Surah Baqarah verse 202 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Baqarah ayat 200 which provides the complete commentary from verse 200 through 202.
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 immaterial. 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.
