To whom was he speaking? This is highly relevant. Was he speaking to... everybody? Everywhere? Was this comment addressed to a specific group of people? Was it addressed to a specific person? Was it addressed to the whole of the Ummah, from the rice farmer to the Khalifa?

Very good questions. So his opinions were for his students, not for person who borned after 500 years after his (Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal) death. Right?
