Scholarly Explanation

The one who recognises and rewards the small quantity of actions and the one who forgives the large quantity of sins. He is the one who multiplies the rewards of His sincere servants manifold without any measure. He is the one who recognises and rewards those who give thanks to Him and remembers the one who remembers Him. Whosoever seeks to get close to Him by doing any righteous action, Allah draws closer to Him by a greater degree.

Indeed as-Safa and al-Marwa are two of the symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or 'Umrah to perform the walking between them. And whoever does good voluntarily, then Allah is Shakir, the All-Knowing.

[al-Baqarah (2): 158]

From “Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah” — Shaykh as-Sa’di (d.1376H)
