The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well
The questioner : O Shaykh, I want to ask two questions.
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner : The first question is regarding the meaning of athar and the meaning of khabar. This is the first question, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Very well. Sometimes they coincide, and sometimes they differ.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh: If they coincide, they mean the same thing, namely a noble Prophetic hadith. If they differ, sometimes khabar means hadith, and athar means a statement attributed to someone other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
