Qarn Masqalah is located near the house of Abu Thumama, and it is the area between the house of Ibn 'Amir and the house of Ibn Samura. Al Aswad said, 'I saw the Prophet ﷺ as people, including men, women, young and old, came to give him their pledge of allegiance for Islam and the testimony of faith.' I asked, 'What is the testimony of faith?' Muhammad bin Al Aswad informed me, 'It is the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.'"
