I'm trying to understand the meaning of the term "al-Atharee" I know that it has relation to the word "Athar" which I understand to mean narration, and "Aathaar" narrations. So does "Atharee" means a person of narration? How does this differ from the meaning of Ahlul-Hadeeth? What's the difference between Athar and Hadeeth? I've also heard that al-Atharee means one who sticks to the old way (i.e. the way of the Salaf). So could some of the brothers please clarify this for me.
