عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الصَّفَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((نَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of Masjid al-Haram heading towards Safa while saying: We too will begin the Sa’i from the place from which Allah Almighty has begun its mention.
