حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ , حَدَّثَنَا سَفيانُ , عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ , قَالَ : " سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , عَنْ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ،فَقَالَ : " كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّهُمَا مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَمْسَكْنَا عَنْهُمَا ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا سورة البقرة آية 158 " .
Narrated `Asim bin Sulaiman: I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa. Anas replied, "We used to consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the Pre-islamic period of Ignorance, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah revealed" "Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Mecca) are among the Symbols of Allah. So it is not harmful of those who perform the Hajj of the House (of Allah) or perform the Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between them." (2.158)

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
When the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) was appointed as the qiblah, there were many misconceptions among the people regarding Safa and Marwah, the details of which have already been mentioned in the benefits of the previous hadith.
In this noble verse, those misconceptions have been addressed: performing sa’i (ritual walking) between these two places is among the essential rites of Hajj, and the sanctity of these places is from Allah.
It has no connection whatsoever with the baseless innovations of the people of ignorance (Jahiliyyah).

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From the above narrations, it is established that there were two groups among the Ansar. One of them, during the period of ignorance (jahiliyyah), used to circumambulate (tawaf) Safa and Marwah for the sake of Isaf and Na’ilah, while the other, due to performing tawaf of Manat, did not perform their tawaf. After embracing Islam, both these groups felt uneasy about performing tawaf of Safa and Marwah. Allah removed the matter that was troubling the hearts of these two groups and a third group through this verse.
