Question:
He asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith: “I love ArabicMishkat al-Masabih 30:28”?
Answer:
This hadith is not established. It is mentioned by grammarians in the introductions to their grammar books, but it is not established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no doubt that Arabic is the best of languages and the most eloquent of languages, and it is the language of the Noble Qur'an in a clear Arabic tongue. That alone is sufficient for it to be proud: that it is the language of the Noble Qur'an and the language of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
