Sayyidina Jabir (RA) reported that when the Prophet (SAW) came to Makkah, he made the tawaf of the House seven rounds. He came to the Station and recited “Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim. “(verse 2 : 125). Then prayed salah behind tbe Station, and came to the Hajr and kissed it. After that he said, “We begin with what Allah had begun.” So, he began Safa, reciting “Surely the Safa and the Marwa are among the signs appointed by Allah” (2:158, hadith 857).
