In his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “Adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs,” does this not imply that if they all acted in unison, they agreed upon it?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs,” does his saying “and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs” not imply that if they all did one thing, they agreed upon it?

Answer:
No, no, this is not implied by what he said. Rather, if one of them did it, it is from the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. If 'Ali, the last of the Caliphs (may Allah be pleased with him), did it, it would be from the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Yes. May Allah reward you. It has ended. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
