If a general hadith is reported and a hadith containing specific instances of that general hadith is reported, does the second specify the first?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a general hadith is reported—and he asked about the rule—a general hadith is reported, and a hadith is reported that mentions some of the instances of that general hadith; does the second hadith specify the first hadith?
The Shaykh : It is not sufficient for the question to be phrased this way; because your statement that it mentions a part of this general hadith, does it mention something that contradicts it or agrees with it?
The questioner : It agrees with it.
The Shaykh : This does not constitute specification. This is said to be a part of the parts of the general text, so the general text is acted upon. And a fortiori, this is not called a specific text, but rather it is a part of the parts of the general text.
Yes.
