أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ خَلَفٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ الْأَسْوَدَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ جَلَسَ عِنْدَ قَرْنِ مَسْقَلَةَ فَبَايَعَ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا الشَّهَادَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ خَلَفٍ أَنَّهُ بَايَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَشَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكُنْتُ أَقُولُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Uthman bin Khuthaym that Muhammad bin Aswad bin Khalaf related to him that his father and Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taking allegiance from the people on the day of the conquest of Makkah. The Prophet was seated at a place called Qarn Musqalah. He took allegiance from the people for Islam and for the testimony. Abdullah bin Uthman says, I asked them what was meant by the testimony? So they informed that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took allegiance from the people for faith in Allah, for the oneness of Allah, and for the testimony of the servitude and messengership of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Thus, I would also say in the same way as they used to say.
