3812. Ḥudhaifah narrated that they said: "O Messenger of Allāh, if you were to appoint someone as a successor." He said: "If I were to appoint a successor over you, and you were to disobey him, you would be punished. But whatever Ḥudhaifah narrates to you, then believe him, and whatever 'Abdullāh teaches you to recite,
then recite it.” (Da’if)
‘Abdullāh said: “I said to Ishāq bin ‘Eisā: ‘They say this (Hadīth) is from Abū Wā’il.’ He said: ‘It is from Zādhān, if Allāh wills.’”
[He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan, and it is a narration of Sharik.

Commentary
Hudhaifah and ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd both report that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Follow the two, Abū Bakr and ‘Umar, those coming after me.” It means that he declared the Muslims should not worry about the appointment of the Caliph, Allāh ﷻ will solve this matter, but Muslims should listen to Hudhaifah regarding this matter.
