Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there was an idol on the Safa hill which was called Isaf, and there was an idol on the Marwah hill which was called Na'ilah. So when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, the people said: O Messenger of Allah! The people of ignorance used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwah for these two idols, and these two are not among the signs of Allah. Then this verse was revealed: __QUR_N__ "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj of the House or Umrah, there is no blame upon him for walking between them." __QUR_N__
