He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to fast three days in al-Hajj, one day before al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah), on the day of al-Tarwiyah and on the day of ‘Arafah.’ I then asked, ‘What is the rule if he misses it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He can eat food before dawn on the day of al-Hasabah, fast that day and two more days thereafter.’ I then asked, if camel man does not wait for him, can he fast on the way?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, if he likes he can fast on the way or when he returns home to his family.’” حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/195))
