Sayyiduna al-Aswad bin Khalaf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taking the pledge of allegiance from people at the place of Qarn Masfalah. Men, women, young and old came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and they pledged allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him) upon Islam and the testimony." (The narrator says:) I asked: "What is meant by the testimony?" So Muhammad bin al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) told me: "Upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain; Ibn Jurayj is alone in narrating it."
