Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah a sunnah from Hajar or Isma'il, or is it a sunnah from Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
The origin is that Hajar, the mother of Isma'il, sought aid from Allah the Exalted. We are in need, just as our mother Hajar was in need of Allah the Exalted. So we do it as a means of drawing near to Allah, and as a supplication and seeking aid from Allah the Exalted.
