How do you respond to those who say that the hadith: "Every innovation is misguidance" is of the type of the general that is specified?

The questioner : In the original, I asked a question... Our Shaykh, may Allah know best, said that one of the jurists, who is Ibn al-Arabi the Maliki, said that the hadith is of the type of the general that is specified, specified by the hadith...

The Shaykh : Which hadith?

The questioner : This hadith, this one, is from the specific year.

The Shaykh : Specified, yes, that is right.

The questioner : By the hadith . Of course, we know that your school of thought differs from this opinion, so how do you respond to this scholar? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : We refuted this opinion of his a long time ago.

The questioner : I was not present, my Shaykh...

The Shaykh : We do not do anything for you.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : We have, my brother, tapes on this hadith, some of which are very long and detailed, and some are brief, like yesterday. If we recall the occasion on which the hadith was revealed, the invalidity of specifying the generality of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) by this hadith becomes clear. But I feel that the issue requires some detail, and I am comfortable with such detail. Even if others get bored of repeating it, I am comfortable with such detail because of the benefit it offers to others, if others can bear with me. So, if you are prepared for detail so that I can elaborate for you, what do you think?

The questioner : My Shaykh, we want your comfort, if Allah wills, meaning briefly, without tiring you.
Al-Halabi: Elaborate, and we... my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : I told you that I am comfortable with this detail.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Very well.
