The statement of one who describes the Messenger as unlettered, unable to read or write

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who says that the Messenger is unlettered, unable to read or write, and that he has lied?

Answer:
This is the liar. Allah called the Messenger unlettered, the unlettered Prophet. The Messenger did not read or write,
And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Otherwise the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُو مِن قَبْلِهِ مِن كِتَابٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ إِذًا لَّارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:48]
. The Messenger was unlettered, and yet he carried this great knowledge for the entire world, despite being unlettered. This is among the miracles of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
