On one of the shia forums that I visit, a very faithful servant of his priest (marja) had objected to my posting ahadith and demanded that "how do you know the 'scope' of these ahadith?". He further went on to argue that only Arabs or the 'shaikhs', marjas etc know it. So what do ahadith and our classical scholars say? How do we determine the 'scope'?
Al iteqadat
باب الاعتقاد في الأخبار المفسرة والمجملة
Section on the belief in (regards to) the detailed/expository and summarized/general traditions.
قال الشيخ ـ رضي الله عنه ـ : اعتقادنا في الحديث المفسر أنه يحكم على المجمل ، كما قال الصادق ـ عليه السلام ـ
Said the Shaikh (Shaikh Sadooq) (RA): Our belief in (regards to) the detailed/expository hadith is that it is the ruling upon the summarized/general one, as what (Imam) al Sadiq(as) said.
