Brother Faqir,
I apologize for any confusion that I have caused. When I said "Athari" I meant "Hanbali"; the term "Athari" only came out because this is a term that I was familiar with during my Salafitic youth and after reading so much about the Salafis during this last week, I guess the old terminology came through...lol. My mistake brother.
With regard to who I've studied Hanbali Aqeedah under, I have not formally studied Hanbali aqeedah, however, I have been exposed to it by an Orthodox, Hanafi Alim, from the outskirts of Peshawar, Qari Fareed Shah. He is a Hanafi in fiqh and Maturidi in Aqeedah, however, as he explained it to me, he told me that traditionally, Aqeedah as presented to the masses for hundreds of years in Central Asia and, later on, the Indo-Pak subcontinent, has been, essentially, Hanbali aqeedah. Thus what I did pick up in Maturidi aqeedah was, according to him, essentially Hanbali aqeedah. We did not study in depth as I was only with him for a little over a month (May Allah preserve him and make him successfuly in all his pursuits, worldly and otherwise).
The rest of what I know about Hanbali aqeedah (which hasn't differed from what I was told my Fareed Shah Agha) has been gleaned via email correspondence with Brother Abu Jafar al Hanbali of the "Hanbali Texts Society" and, to a lesser extent, Sidi Musa Furber.
Hope that this helps.
