If the Messenger of Allah (s) did not establish this, then is it necessary to follow ‘Umar (r)?

عليكم بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين عضوا عليها بالنواجذ

رواه الترمذي:٢٦٧٦

‘Irbaad ibn Saariyah (r) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (s) said, “Compulsory upon you is my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulfaa (Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman and ‘Ali), hold onto it with your molar teeth (hold on to it firmly).” (Tirmizhi, 2676)
