What is meant by following in the qiblah?

Question : All right, he says: One of them did not follow the other.

Answer : What is meant by following here? I mean, in the qiblah, it is not permissible for one of them to follow the other, even if he is more knowledgeable than him, even if he is more knowledgeable and more aware. As long as he has disputed with him and contradicted him, if a person exerted his own judgment and the other one, who is more knowledgeable than him, exerted his judgment, and the first person became uncertain about his own judgment and had a strong suspicion that his companion's judgment was correct, then according to the school of thought, he does not follow him, he does not follow him. Why?
Because they say that a report from a trustworthy person must be based on certainty. But the correct view is that he follows him, because when he became uncertain about his own judgment, his judgment became invalid, and when it became predominant in his mind that his companion's judgment was correct, he is required to follow what is more likely to be correct. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: "Let him seek the truth and then act upon it." This is evidence that whoever has a strong suspicion regarding a matter of worship follows that strong suspicion. This also has a basis in the Book. Allah the Exalted said: and this is their capacity.
