This question is never properly analysed, thus it comes up again.
There are non-muslims quoting ahadith as if they are assuredly historical. Well, mostly some hadith that would be a seemingly super tool to make a shock-effect of course. Nevertheless, when asked "why do you think this is historical", they come up with various reasons.
1. Muslims believe they are true. (Thus do you take everything Muslims believe as true?)
2. Its in Bukhari, the most authentic hadith book (Thus do you take every hadith in Bukhari as authentic?)
3. It is considered Sahih. (Thus, do you take every Sahih hadith as historical?)
4. Do you reject hadith? (Is "do you reject hadith" an answer for the question asked? Do you rely on what your opponent does to base your faith?)
And of course, so on.
You get the gist.
