Is it permissible to cite the generality of the evidence that encourages dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as proof for the permissibility of collective dhikr?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible to cite the generalities of texts on which no practice has been established, meaning on their generality... because the general text spoken by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is more knowledgeable about its indication than those who come after him. So if some people cite the generality of something, we should look to see if practice has been established on this generality or not. If practice has been established, then the practice is the Sunnah; if it has not, then it is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and citing such a generality is of no benefit.
And we give a clear example of this. Our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) says: These are general texts describing the Muslims as being of a nature that they remember Allah frequently. Citing these generalities, an innovator comes and calls the adhan for the two Eid prayers. He is told, "This is a religious innovation (bid'ah)." He says, "No, fear Allah. I am remembering Allah and declaring His oneness. What are you objecting to? When I say 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,' am I associating partners with Allah or declaring His oneness? Of course, I am declaring His oneness," and so on. So we will say to him, "This timing and this dhikr that you are engaged in on the occasion of the Eid prayer, did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) do it?" His answer will be, "No, he did not." "So why do we do it? Out of negligence and lack of concern for the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?" He says, "Of course not." So then, why did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) not call the adhan for the Eid prayers if the adhan was prescribed? The innovator must say one of two things: either the Messenger did not call the adhan because it is not prescribed, or it is prescribed... [then] he would be blaming the Companions and the Tabi'un, and so on, until... the innovator. And general texts are cited for this specific dhikr... in a specific instance that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not establish. This is legislation from his own mind, but he relies on generalities on which no practice has been established.
