When is an absolute hadith applied to a qualified one?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If an authentic hadith comes in an absolute form, and a hadith of a lower degree of authenticity qualifies that hadith?

Answer:
If both are authentic, the absolute is applied to the qualified.
As for if it is weak, no, a weak hadith is not acted upon, nor is it preferred over an authentic one.
