2:158

إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَوِ ٱعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a proper name coordinated with al-Safa. Both are identified as among God's ritual signs, and pilgrims to the House are permitted to traverse around the pair, establishing the name's Quran-internal identity without importing a geographic description.
