The pilgrim could not be identified while it is not known if he had performed his Hajj or not. People, however, prayed for his forgiveness and eternal peace.
Indeed from Allah we came and to Him we shall return. May Allah have mercy upon him and accept him as a martyr, one who will be raised in the state of ihram for hajj.
