Hurrying and Delaying in Mina and the Meaning of "For Those Who Fear Allah"

Question:
If you hear a shaykh ask which is better, delaying or hurrying? And what is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted, "for those who fear Allah"?

Answer:
Delaying is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed; he did not depart until the thirteenth day. Not hurrying is better. This choice between hurrying and delaying is for those who fear Allah. As for one who plays or shows off, his deed has no value; we ask Allah for safety from that. The discussion is with the one who fears Allah in his hurrying or delaying. So, whoever fears Allah may, if he wishes, hurry, or if he wishes, delay; he is given the choice. And delaying is better. As for one who performs Hajj not for the sake of piety, but for showing off or for other purposes, his sin is with Allah and his affair is left to Allah; he is not among those who fear Allah. We ask Allah for safety from that. Yes.
