[68:1] , he -asws said: ‘So the (letter) Noon is a name of...

He had these written down , and these are being dictated to him (in the) morning and evening’ [25:5] See a Hadith in the Appendix, describing the background of the above Verse: ثم‏ قال علي بن إبراهيم، و في رواية أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، في قوله: إِلَّا إِفْكٌ افْتَراهُ قال: «الإفك: الكذب وَ أَعانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ يعنون أبا فكيهة، و حبرا ، و عداسا، و عابسا مولى حويطب Then Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws regarding His -azwj Words: ‘Surely this is only a lie.

He had these written down – This is the speech of Al-Nazar Bin Al-Haris Bin Alqama Bin Kaldat who said, ‘Stories of the former ones! Muhammad -saww had these written out, and these are being dictated to him (in the) morning and evening [25:5] .’’ [6] So, it was well known among the non-believers of that time that -saww could read as well as write. So why did some Muslims think that the Holy Prophet was illiterate (Na’uzubillah)?

We look at the Holy Verse, which is frequently presented in support of their assumption. Why do they Allege that -saww was Illiterate (Nauzobillah)?
