The Difference Between Hadith and Athar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between a hadith and an athar?

Answer:
An athar is broader than a hadith. An athar may be from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or from the Companions, or from the Tabi'un. An athar is broader than a hadith. A hadith is specific to what came from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas an athar may have come from the Messenger or from someone else.
