Sorry for my stupid question:

This is in completion to this question Let $p$ be a prime of the form $p = a^2 + b^2$ with $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $a$ an odd prime. Prove that $(a/p) =1$

Why if the Legendre symbol satisfy $\left(\frac{a}p\right)=\left(\frac{p}a\right)$ then $\left(\frac{a}p\right) = 1$?
