English translation
2986. It was narrated that Hishâm bin 'Urwah said: "My father told me: 'I said to 'Aishah: "I do not think there is any sin on me if I do not perform Tawâf[1] between Safa and Marwah." She said: "Allâh says: 'Verily, Safa and Marwah are of the Symbols of Allâh. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umrah of the House to perform Tawâf between them.'"[2] If the matter were as you say, then it would have said, 'it is not a sin on him to not perform the Sa'y between them.' Rather this was revealed concerning some people among the Ansâr who previously, when they stated the Talbiyah, they used to recite it for Manât, and it was not lawful to them to perform Sa'y between Safa and Marwah.
When they arrived with the Prophet ﷺ for Hajj, they mentioned that to him, and Allāh revealed this Verse. By Allāh, Allāh will not accept the Hajj as complete if one who does not perform Sa'y between Safa and Marwah.''' (Sahih)

Commentary
Having the knowledge of the reasons of the revelation of Verses is also compulsory to know the accurate meaning of the Qur'an, and to explain it to others.
Arabs had invented many innovations in the pre-Islamic period. The Prophet ﷺ guided them to the correct way of the worship.
Avoiding innovations in worship is very important.
Sa'y between Safa and Marwah is an integral part of Hajj and Umrah.
