Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I do not know him. All of them, and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), are [obligated] regarding the necessity of innovating their dictations, their dictations specifically from the Rightly Guided Caliphs.

Answer:
All the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), all of them, are commanded to be followed. Allah the Exalted said:
And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conductوَالسَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ
[At-Tawbah 9:100]
These are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, the Emigrants and the Helpers. (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
and those who followed them with good conductوَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ
[At-Tawbah 9:100]
So we follow the example of all of them. Yes.
