The ruling on leaving the saying of the Messenger for the saying of the jurist

The questioner:
May Allah grant you success, O Shaykh. The words of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), and his rebuke of those who adopted the opinion of Sufyan. Does not their adoption of Sufyan’s opinion imply that it contains a general and a specific, or an abrogating and an abrogated?
The Shaykh:
What is this talk? I do not understand this talk. The people who oppose Imam Ahmad contradict the saying of the Messenger and follow what the Shaykh said, saying, “We take the general fatwa,” while they ignore the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner:
That is what is meant.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and this includes everyone who takes the saying of the jurist and leaves the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
