Can a hadith be strengthened by a corroborating indication from the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : But if a corroborating indication from the Qur'an comes, does that mean the hadith is considered...?

The Shaykh : It depends on the nature of the indication; it may be complete or it may be incomplete. The matter requires understanding of the Book and the Sunnah.

The questioner : If the indication is complete, is the hadith considered authentic?

The Shaykh : In your imagination, do you have an example?

The questioner
And the overflowing sea وَالْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ
This is the hadith:
Do not sail on the sea except when going to perform the hajj , or the ‘umra , or when fighting in God’s path, for under the sea there is a fire and under the fire there is a sea. لا تركب البحر إلا حاجًّا أو معتمرًا أو غازيًا ، فإن تحت البحر نارًا ، وتحت النار بحرًا
Mishkat al-Masabih 3838
There is an indication that says that
And the overflowing sea وَالْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ
Allah swears by the overflowing sea.

The Shaykh : There is an overflowing sea, but is this a complete indication or an incomplete one?

The questioner : I do not know.

The Shaykh : I told you that the matter requires understanding.

The questioner : Thank you, Shaykh.
