Summary/Abstract: Although Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the most eloquent Arab, the first generation of authorities in the field of Arabic language restricted only the Qur'an and pre-Islamic poetry as the core and source during the process of gathering material used for standardization and certification of the grammar and lexicon of Arabic language. The first generation of Arab linguists have not used the Hadith as a standard for Arabic language, although one part of Hadith collections belong to the period that is considered as a acceptable source of language material for standardization of Arabic language.However, research have confirmed that the first generation of linguists did not reject Hadith as a source, but they used it as a broader term of "Arabic literary texts." There are three different views regarding the question of acceptability of Hadith as a source of Arabic language and they are represented in detail in this paper. The Academy for Arabic Language in Cairo has mentioned the criteria for acceptance of Hadith as a standard for Arabic language as a result of conducted research.
