How to respond to the claim that he (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this for his Ummah, because he said

The Shaykh : If someone says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this for his Ummah with a clear explanation, because he said:
Here the problem arises, and we need an answer.
So what is the answer to that?
What is the problem?
The problem is that we decided just now that his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in response to the questioner about night prayer, "two by two," indicates that it is not obligatory to be restricted to eleven or thirteen.
Is that right? Good, but a person came and said: You are required to be restricted, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: .
And we have seen him pray how many? Eleven or thirteen.
So this implies that we must not exceed eleven rak'ahs, so how do you say that adding is permissible with this hadith?
Answer this hadith, or else withdraw from the field.
Yes. Possible.
The student: The statement of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): is a general hadith.

The Shaykh : They tell you is a general hadith specified by the action of the Messenger, so they turn the argument against you.
Rest, yes.
The student: It can be said that his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement that the "ka" here is intended in terms of manner, not quantity.
So it is not required from his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: that we adhere to the number, but rather the intention is to follow in the manner.

The Shaykh : Correct.
We say this is in the manner, because the "ka" is for comparison, and he is addressing the delegations that come to him and pray behind him in the manner and the description.
