When is the specification of a general hadith?

The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the question I asked you at the door, why did we not consider the hadith about taking the qiblah as a specification of the other general hadith? You mentioned the word "hadith"...

The Shaykh : I understood, but what is the question now? Is it a repetition of the previous question for which you already received an answer?

The questioner : Yes, yes. And why do we not say that it is a specification of the general hadith?

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. The general and specific evidence usually contradict each other. That is, when the general text is contradicted by the specific hadith, it is said here that this is a text that specifies the general text. This is the view of all scholars. However, if the text you call specific is a part of the general text, then there is no generality and specificity here. For example, in the question you asked, it was said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the other hadiths come, in which the Messenger forbids the one praying from spitting toward the direction of the qiblah, this is a part of that hadith, not a contradiction of it, but rather it... aligns with its generality. So it is not said that this is general and this is specific, but rather this is a part of the parts...
