How to reconcile the two hadiths: (Allah did not send a prophet except that there were people in his nation who would follow his guidance and adopt his Sunnah.

'Ayd 'Abassi: ... How can we reconcile the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to the end, and his saying when it was revealed to him, "I saw the Prophet with a group, the Prophet with two groups, and the Prophet with no one with him"?

The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me?
'Ayd 'Abassi: How can we reconcile the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the other hadith ?

The Shaykh : What appears to me, and Allah knows best, in the answer is that the hadith "There is no prophet except..." What is the text of the hadith?
'Ayd 'Abassi: He sent, .

The Shaykh : This is one of the general texts that is specified by the other hadith, in which it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that there was a Prophet with no one with him. That is to say, the general rule—and this is a matter of certainty, both by reason and by sight—is that when Allah the Exalted sent the prophets, there must be some who respond to their call. However, whether the number of responders is small or large does not negate the fact that there may be some individual prophets to whom no one responded. Therefore, the first hadith is understood in terms of the general case regarding the relationship between callers and those called, or between prophets and those called. Generally, those called respond to the call of the prophets because it is a call to truth, with the difference being, as we said, in the number, whether many or few. But sometimes, no one responds to the Messenger at all, and this is part of the trial and testing from Allah the Exalted.
Thus, the reconciliation between the two hadiths is based on the rule of applying the general to the specific, and thereby the difficulty is resolved. This does not pose a problem for students of knowledge, because it is like, for example, His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) . This is exactly like if a questioner asked how to reconcile the verse with his saying (peace be upon him) . The answer is except... likewise, blood, except... meaning this text is general. The Quranic text is a general text from which what is mentioned in the hadith is specified. Likewise, the general principle is that every prophet sent by Allah the Exalted had some who responded to him, except we take an exception from the second hadith, where it was revealed to him that there was a Prophet with no one with him. So it is general and specific; this is how the reconciliation is done.
'Ayd 'Abassi: Another question.
