Important issues and conflicting ahadith

Al Ihtijaj

وروى سماعة بن مهران قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام قلت: يرد علينا حديثان، واحد يأمرنا بالأخذ به، والآخر به ينهانا عنه؟
قال: لا تعمل بواحد منهما حتى تلقي صاحبك فتسأله عنه
قال: قلت: لا بد من أن نعمل بأحدهما
قال: خذ بما فيه خلاف العامة

And narrated Sama'a b. Mahran who said: I asked Aba Abdullah (as), I said: Two ahadith are referred upon us, one ordering us with the taking from it, and the other with it forbidding us from it? (Imam(as)) said: "Don't act on one of both till you meet your master(Imam(as)) then ask him(as) about it." (Narrator) said: I said: "(If) it's must/there's no alternate for us to act on one of both." (Imam(as)) said: "Take of (act on) what in it (one of the two ahadith) is against the aamah (the non shia majority muslims/sunnis).
