Ibn Abbas Commentary

Allah then mentioned what the sincere believers say, saying: (The saying of (all true) believers) such as 'Uthman who said to 'Ali: " rather, I will come with you to the Prophet (pbuh) and I will accept his judgement whatever it is " , and so Allah praised him for saying so, (when they appeal unto Allah) when they are called to the Book of Allah (and His messenger) and to the wont of His Messenger (to judge) for the Prophet to judge (between them) by Allah's Book (is only that they say: We hear and we obey) what we have been commanded with. (And such are the successful) such are the ones, i.e. 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan, who will escape Allah's wrath and chastisement.

All that the believers say when they are summoned to God and His Messenger that he may judge between them is that they say in other words the saying that befits them is to say ‘We hear and we obey’ by responding to the summons. And those then are the successful the ones who will be saved.
