Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke Arabic.
While Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) communicated in Arabic, it's important to understand that the Arabic of the Quran holds a unique and elevated status. Here's a further breakdown:
-
Primary Language: Arabic was the Prophet's native tongue and the language he used for everyday communication, preaching, and teaching.
-
Quranic Arabic: The Arabic in which the Quran was revealed is considered distinct in its eloquence, style, and grammatical precision. Many scholars note that the Quran's Arabic surpassed the standard Arabic spoken at the time.
In short, while both are Arabic, there's a recognition of the specific and remarkable quality of the Arabic used in the Quran.
