Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
In the opening and closing parts of this hadith, there is an indication towards the caliphate of as-Siddiq and al-Faruq (Abu Bakr and Umar, radi Allahu anhuma).
By following Abu Bakr and Umar, radi Allahu anhuma, what is meant is their caliphate in succession after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And the will (wasiyyah) of Ibn Mas'ud, radi Allahu anhu, also refers to this—that he supported the caliphate of Abu Bakr, radi Allahu anhu.
This is what is meant:
By holding firmly to his will.
