Even from pure linguistic perspectives, the Quran is a masterpiece; you're not hearing this because I'm a biased Muslim; you would know it if you could speak Arabic indeed.
In terms of linguistic structure, the book is simple yet strong, poetic but accurate, ah well, Heathens of Mecca (who were masters of Arabic) couldn't breach into it; you'll hear this argument a lot as a proof for Islam, it's one of my favorites anyhow.
The Hadiths are dry, very dry in comparison.
By your token we must accept everything Shakespeare wrote as absolutely historically accurate in every detail, given how beautiful and poetic his use of English was.
The quality of language says nothing about the accuracy of a work's message, it only attests to how well a person can frame their thoughts.
