إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ
بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيم
Behold! Indeed the hills of Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of God; and thus, whoever performs Hajj or Umrah, let them walk between the two hills for, and whoever does good willingly, Allah is truly Appreciative, All-Knowing. [2:158]
