Question:
What is the ruling on saying "Verily, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah" before the sa'y?
Answer:
This is not a statement; rather, it is a verse that is recited when one exits to the sa'y area to perform the sa'y. One begins by saying, as Allah the Exalted said, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he exited to the sa'y area intending to perform the sa'y. He says:Sahih Muslim 1277e "Indeed, Allah is Appreciative and Knowing. I begin with what Allah has begun with." Yes.

Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah" ; so he who performs Hajj or Umra, for him there is no harm if he should circumambulate between them, and he who does good spontaneously
ان الصفا والمروه من شعائر الله فمن حج البيت او اعتمر فلا جناح عليه ان يطوف بهما ومن تطوع خيرا
