Is it permissible to seek blessing from the Mosque of the Pledge and to attach oneself to it because of the events attributed to it?

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: There is currently a small mud mosque in Mina, next to the stoning pillars, surrounded by a wall. We have seen some ignorant pilgrims rubbing themselves against it and taking some of its soil, and some of them even circumambulate around it. Is there any guidance regarding this?

Answer:
They call this the Mosque of the Pledge, claiming that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) pledged allegiance with the Ansar there in the Pledge of Aqabah, and that they built this mosque and attributed it to Abu Ja'far al-Mansur. I believe Abu Ja'far is innocent of it, but they want to promote this thing. It is a superstition. This is a superstition, and it is not permissible to visit it or seek blessing from it, and it has no basis. Originally, it was unknown in the valleys, but when the project for the stoning pillars was implemented and the mountain was removed, this place was revealed. It is obligatory to remove it so that the superstitious do not attach themselves to it and the ignorant are not deceived by it. Yes.
