Question:
The questioner asks: How is the formula of tahlil on al-Safa and al-Marwah, with some detail? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform sa'y, he exited from the gate of al-Safa and recited this verse:[Al-Baqarah 2:158], "I begin with what Allah began with." Then he ascended al-Safa (peace and blessings be upon him) and faced the Ka'bah, because the Ka'bah was visible from atop al-Safa at that time, as there were no buildings to hide it, until he saw the Ka'bah. Then he faced it, raised his hands, and supplicated, saying tahlil and takbir: Muwatta Malik 20:131, "and He is able to do all things." He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated on al-Safa with his hands raised. A Muslim supplicates with whatever is easy for him; if he does not memorize a specific supplication, he supplicates with whatever is easy for him. As for saying, "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things," and repeating this three times, everyone knows this, praise be to Allah, and he adds to it whatever supplication is easy for him. Then he descends to al-Marwah. When he reaches al-Marwah, he ascends it, faces the Ka'bah, and says what he said on al-Safa.

Answer:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform sa'y, he exited from the gate of al-Safa and recited this verse:
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌThere is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد
