Who hear advice) words (and follow the best thereof) and follow the wisest and clearest of these words, in that they desire it and act upon it. (Such are those whom Allah guideth) to veracity and right way; it is also said that this means: to the best of things, (and such are men of understanding) such are those possessed of intellect among people, i. e. Abu Bakr and his fellow believers and whoever follows them in the practice of the Sunnah and adherence to the community of believers.

الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
Those who listen to the Word and then follow the best it contains, are the ones who have been guided by God, and are men of wisdom.
