Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.  

Truly Safā and Marwa, two mountains near Mecca, are among the waymarks (sha‘ā’ir, plural of sha‘īra) of God, the ˹ritual˺ ceremonies of His religion, so whoever makes the Pilgrimage to the House, or the Visitation, that is, whoever prepares to perform the Pilgrimage ˹hajj˺ or the Visitation ˹‘umra˺: the original sense of both terms ˹hajja and i‘tamara˺ is ‘to aim for’ and ‘to visit’, respectively; he would not be at fault, ˹it would not be˺ a sin, if he circumambulates them (the original tā’ ˹of yatatawwafa, ‘circumambulate’˺ has been assimilated with the tā’), by pacing quickly (sa‘y) between them seven times: this was revealed when the Muslims were averse to this ˹circumambulation˺, because the pagan Arabs used to circumambulate them, and there was an idol atop each mountain which they used to stroke. It is reported from Ibn ‘Abbās that this pacing ˹between the two˺ is not obligatory, based on the fact that when no sin can be incurred, the context implies free choice. Al-Shāfi‘ī and others, however, considered it to be a pillar ˹of the Pilgrimage rituals˺. The Prophet made clear its obligatory aspect when he said that, ‘God has prescribed for you the pacing ˹sa‘y˺’, as reported by al-Bayhaqī and others; and he ˹the Prophet˺ also said, ‘Begin with what God has begun’, meaning, al-Safā, as reported by Muslim; and whoever volunteers (tatawwa‘a: a variant reading is yattawa‘, the ta’ here being assimilated) good, that is, any good deed such as circumambulation or other, that is not obligatory on him; God is Grateful, for such a deed and rewards that person for it, Knowing, it.
القرآن:٢:١٥٨

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ  

(إن الصفا والمروة) جبلان بمكة (من شعائر الله) أعلام دينه جمع شعيرة (فمن حج البيت أو اعتمر) أي تلبس بالحج أو العمرة وأصلهما القصد والزيارة (فلا جناح عليه) إثم عليه (أن يطوف) فيه إدغام التاء في الأصل في الطاء (بهما) بأن يسعى بينهما سبعا، نزلت لما كره المسلمون ذلك لأن أهل الجاهلية كانوا يطوفون بهما وعليهما صنمان يمسحونهما، وعن ابن عباس أن السعي غير فرض لما أفاده رفع الإثم من التخيير وقال الشافعي وغيره ركن، وبين ﷺ فرضيته بقوله "" إن الله كتب عليكم السعي "" رواه البيهقي وغيره "" وقال ابدءوا بما بدأ الله به "" يعني الصفا رواه مسلم (ومن تطوع) وفي قراءة بالتحتية وتشديد الطاء مجزوما وفيه إدغام التاء فيها (خيرا) أي بخير أي عمل ما لم يجب عليه من طواف وغيره (فإن الله شاكر) لعمله بالإثابة عليه (عليم) به.
