Abstract: Rhetoric is the highest rank of language strength, namely eloquence and good coherence and phrasing. For speech to be rhetoric, it must include eloquent rhetorical methods. To be considerate of rhetorical purposes, the speaker is better to choose the optimal style and the most accurate word to perform the meaning to the fullest. It better to choose the word, and put it in its proper place, it is not enough for the word to be eloquent to make the speech eloquent. This is the eloquent man who chose words and used exquisite and aesthetic sentences, and wherever he was, he was the most eloquent who has been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning.  The Arabic language has been obediently lovely stood in his hands and has been honored by him rather than other languages. He is the imam of creation - peace be upon him - who made a clay from the art of the language and he formed it in his hands as he wished. This study came to shed light on an aspect of the eloquence and miracle of the Prophet's speech, to stand on its arts, taste its fine style,  probe the details of rhetoric,  shedding light on an aspect of his eloquence - peace be upon him - and his eloquence, and addressing one of the branches of rhetoric as a sample That indicates all the Intractable to be mentioned. This aspect is the using of definite and indefinite articles of Arabic language and their purposes in the Prophet's hadith. The researcher will make a statement of the concepts of using definite and indefinite articles of Arabic language in his hadiths, their rhetorical purposes, and the statement of the use of these purposes in the Prophet's hadith.
