==Zamzam Well==

When Ibrahim (a) brought his wife Hajar (a) and his son Isma'il (a) to Mecca and settled them near Ka'ba, Isma'il (a) became very thirsty and Hajar (a) started running between Safa and Marwa to get some water. At last, Jabra'il hit the ground with his wing or heel and Zamzam water gushed out. With the passage of time, the fountain disappeared, until 'Abd al-Muttalib dug it again and the pilgrims have been benefiting from its water since then.

==Safa and Marwa==

Safa and Marwa are the names of two mountains near Mataf. The path between Safa and Marwa is called Mas'a, where the pilgrims cover the distance seven times during [[Hajj]]. With the expansion in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram, Mas'a and Mataf are now connected together. It is 394.5 meters long, with its first and second floors respectively 12 and 9 meters high. At present, some part of Safa mountain still remains but a major part of the Marwa mountain was eliminated during 1995 developments and now, merely the part where the pilgrims go round remains. Mas'a all in all has eighteen gates.
