Explaining the rule of the general text that is specified by another general text that has not itself been specified.

The questioner : Until we move on from the topic, I mentioned the usul al-fiqh rule: when two general texts conflict, we look at the general text from which a specification has been made, and we make that specification take precedence over it. So I read a book in which the author says: "When two general texts conflict, we look to external evidence to rule in favor of the generality of one over the generality of the other." What is your opinion of this statement?
The Shaykh : We do not know of this thing, and I do not think this returns to anything other than what we mentioned; the external evidence is what weakens the generality of one of them...
Al-Halabi : Al-Halabi: Our Shaykh, the well-known hasan hadith supports looking into this.
The Shaykh :
Al-Halabi :Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:313 ؟
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Please, go ahead.
