IGNORANT DEEDS SHOULD NOT PREVENT OTHER'S POSITIVE ACTIONS. Verse 158

      According to the traditions narrated by sonnies as well as Shiites; ABRAHAM'S wife HAJAR - mother of the infant ISHMAEL, prayed for water in that hot and dry desert, and in her eager quest round the hills she found her prayer answered and saw the Zamzam spring. (A DETAIL OF HAJAR IN SEARCH OF WATER WILL FOLLOW)

      Later the pagan Arabs had placed a male and female idol, named, ASAAF and NÄELEH upon the two little mountions SAFA & MARWA, now absorbed in the city of Mecca.

Then the idolater's superstitious rites around the two idols caused some offence to the early Muslims, so that they felt some hesitation in going round these hills and to compass them in their pilgrimage. The verse came down to say that: ``The two mentioned hills are also two of the sacred monuments, and signs appointed by Allah for the pilgrims to compass and circumambulate them, and if the ignorant pagans have defiled them with idols, it won't be a reason for the Muslims to stop performing their rites.''
