It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah" [Surah al-Baqarah: 158] , that he said: In the Jahiliyyah, the devils used to play music the whole night between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and their idols were also placed there. When Islam came, the Muslims said: O Messenger of Allah, we will not go between al-Safa and al-Marwah, for it is something we used to do in the Jahiliyyah. Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: whoever performs Hajj or Umrah, there is no sin upon him for going between them. That is, it means there is no burden of sin upon him; rather, there is reward for him. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
