Adhān: the two testimonies

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ

ashhadu an lā ilāha illā llāh, ashhadu anna Muḥammadan rasūlu llāh

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

The adhān opens with اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ four times, then each testimony twice; the listener repeats every phrase. Note the two particles: أَنْ (light) is followed by a sentence, أَنَّ (heavy) by a noun in the accusative, مُحَمَّدًا.
