The Difference Between Hadith and Athar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between a hadith and an athar?

Answer:
An athar is broader. The term athar is used for a hadith, and it is also used for the words of the Salaf and the words of the predecessors. Yes.
