وَصُعُودِ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، حَتَّى يَرَى الصَّاعِدُ الْبَيْتَ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَالْبَدْءِ بِالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ، إِذِ اللَّهُ- عَزَّ وَجَلَّ- بَدَأَ بِذِكْرِ الصَّفَا قَبْلَ ذِكْرِ الْمَرْوَةِ، وَأَمَرَ الْمُبَيِّنُ عَنِ اللَّهِ- عَزَّ وَجَلَّ- النَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى بِالْبَدْءِ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي الذِّكْرِ
And to ascend the mountains of Safa and Marwah to such an extent that the Ka'bah becomes visible. One should ascend the mountain of Safa before Marwah because Allah Almighty has mentioned the mountain of Safa first (in the Holy Qur'an) and mentioned Marwah afterwards. The Prophet Mustafa (peace be upon him), who clarified the command of Allah Almighty, has ordered that (the beginning of Sa'i) should be from Safa, which Allah Almighty has mentioned first in the Holy Qur'an.
