Who is referred to as Khateeb-ul-Anbia in Islamic tradition?

Explanation

The title "Khateeb-ul-Anbia" means "the Orator among the Prophets." Hazrat Shoaib (A.S) was given this title because of his extraordinary eloquence, clarity, and power of speech when delivering the message of Allah to his people, the dwellers of Madyan. His sermons were so compelling and beautifully articulated that he earned this unique distinction among all the prophets.

Good to know

Hazrat Shoaib (A.S) was sent as a prophet to the people of Madyan and Aykah. He is mentioned in the Quran in multiple surahs including Surah Al-A'raf, Surah Hud, and Surah Ash-Shu'ara. His people were known for cheating in trade, giving short measure, and engaging in highway robbery. He is also one of the few prophets whose story is mentioned in detail in the Quran, and he is a descendant of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) through his son Midian.
