اِنَّ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآىٕرِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَیْتَ اَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِ اَنْ یَّطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاؕ-وَ مَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَیْرًاۙ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِیْمٌ(158)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, Ṣafā and Marwah are from the signs of Allah;[1] so whosoever performs Hajj or Umrah of this ˹Sacred˺ House, there is no sin upon him for walking between them. And whosoever does good of his own accord, then indeed Allah is the Rewarder, All-Knowing.

Commentary

[1]

Ṣafā and Marwah attained greatness due to being attributed to Sayyidatunā Hājirah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا. Historically, they are two hills (not far from the location of the Kaʿbah) between which the honourable Hājirah searched for water. Today, Muslims emulate her struggle as a rite of Hajj and Umrah. Places and objects linked to the pious individuals become virtuous in the religion; this is one of many examples.
