۞ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ مِن شَعَاۤىِٕرِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَنۡ حَجَّ ٱلۡبَیۡتَ أَوِ ٱعۡتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیۡهِ أَن یَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَیۡرࣰا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِیمٌ ١٥٨

Safa and Marwa are among the rites of God, so for those who make major or minor pilgrimage to the House it is no offence to circulate between the two. Anyone who does good of his own accord will be rewarded, for God rewards good deeds, and knows everything

As for those who hide the proofs and guidance We send down, after We have made them clear to people in the Scripture, God rejects them, and so do others

illā alladhīna tābū wa-aṣlaḥū wabayyanū fa-ulāika atūbu ʿalayhim wa-anā l-tawābu l-raḥīm
