There's no such thing.
This is one of Islam's most prominent scholars of tafsir (Quranic exegesis), Imam Ibn Kathir's interpretation of that particular surah:
The Prophet being reprimanded because He frowned at a Weak Man
More than one of the scholars of Tafsir mentioned that one day the Messenger of Allah (God) was addressing one of the great leaders of the Quraysh while hoping that he would accept Islam. While he was speaking in direct conversation with him, Ibn Umm Maktum came to him, and he was of those who had accepted Islam in its earliest days. He (Ibn Umm Maktum) then began asking the Messenger of Allah about something, urgently beseeching him. The Prophet hoped that the man would be guided, so he asked Ibn Umm Maktum to wait for a moment so he could complete his conversation. He frowned in the face of Ibn Umm Maktum and turned away from him in order to face the other man. Thus, Allah revealed,
[عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى - أَن جَآءَهُ الاٌّعْمَى - وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى ]
(He frowned and turned away. Because there came to him the blind man. And how can you know that he might become pure) meaning, he may attain purification and cleanliness in his soul.
[أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى ]
(Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him) meaning, he may receive admonition and abstain from the forbidden.
[أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى - فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى ]
(As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient. To him you attend;) meaning, `you face the rich person so that perhaps he may be guided.'
[وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلاَّ يَزَّكَّى ]
(What does it matter to you if he will not become pure) meaning, `you are not responsible for him if he does not attain purification.'
[وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَى - وَهُوَ يَخْشَى ]
(But as for him who came to you running. And is afraid.) meaning, `he is seeking you and he comes to you so that he may be guided by what you say to him.'
[فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى ]
(Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another.) meaning, `you are too busy.' Here Allah commands His Messenger to not single anyone out with the warning. Rather, he should equal warn the noble and the weak, the poor and the rich, the master and the slave, the men and the women, the young and the old. Then Allah will guide whomever He chooses to a path that is straight. He has the profound wisdom and the decisive proof. Abu Ya`la and Ibn Jarir both recorded from `A'ishah that she said about,
[عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى ]
(He frowned and turned away.) was revealed.'' At-Tirmirdhi recorded this Hadith but he did not mention that it was narrated by `A'ishah. I say it is reported like this in Al-Muwatta' as well.
Peace and Love

Asslaam-O-Alaikum. From what I know or I've heard or read Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) didn't have any teacher as such who would teach him how to read and/or write. So YES he was illetrate until Angel Jibrail came to him with the first wahi of Allah. So Allah was the teacher of Prophet. You've stated that Prophet Mohmmad wrote Quran and this it not true. He taught Quran verbally and Quranic verses weren't written down while he was alive. That was something that was done after he died and Abu Bakar was the khalifa at that time. It was done because lots of sahaba who memorised Quran from Prophet (PBUH) died in a battlefield and then it was suggested by Hazrat Umar to Hazrat Abu Bakar to write down Quran, he did so reluctantly because he didn't want to do something which Prophet (PBUH) didn't do himself. This is from what I know and I could be totally wrong and Allah knows the best.

If Muhammad was fake, then why did he turn down the big offer from his tribe to put him as their leader and make him one of their wealthiest for compromising some of his Divine Message?
If Muhammad was fake, then why did he put himself in the agony of not only praying five times a day (which is mandatory for all Muslims), but also prayed more prayers (which we call it Sunni praying)? If he was fake, then he wouldn't go to this EXTREME to do such a thing EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS LIFE during his ministry?
If Muhammad was fake, then why did he put himself in the agony of fasting the entire month of what we call "Ramadan"? Not eating nor drinking from sun rise to sun set (approximately 12-14 hours) EVERYDAY FOR 30 DAYS is extremely difficult for a fake person to do!
If Muhammad was fake, then why did he forgive all of his enemies (especially the ones who raped many Muslim women) when he finally got them to surrender when he liberated the city of Mecca?
If Muhammad was fake, then how come his Prophecy about Islam spreading to all nations on earth came true? Today there are more than 1.4 billion Muslims throughout the world, and Islam is considered the fastest growing religion in the world. How could this be fake? See Prophecies from Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
What is the answer then?
The answer to the above questions is quite obvious. Muhammad peace be upon him was not fake, and he was the True Messenger of Allah Almighty!.
we testify that there is no god except Allah(arabic word means one God the creator) and there is none worthy of worship except Him. We believe he has no partners, and that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger. We are also certain that Jesus, son of Mary is Allah's slave, His messenger, His word (Be! And he was) which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by Him. We accept that all prophets are brothers and that there is no difference among their religion, which is one religion, "Al-Islam (or belief in the oneness of Allah)". We attest that the Paradise is true, the Hell-fire is true, and that Allah, on the Day of Reckoning, will resurrect mankind from the graves. As Allah says in The Noble Qur'an (which is translated as follows):
"He (Allah) has ordained for you the same religion as that which He ordained to Noah, and that which We inspired in you (Muhammad), and that which We ordained to Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: Establish the religion, and make no divisions therein. To those who worship other things than Allah, dreadful is that to which you call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He will, and guides to Himself him who turns (in repentance to Him)" [Qur'an 4:2-13]
This is our message, and the Muslim nation will bear witness on the Day of Judgement that it conveyed the message of Truth and left it upon each and every person to accept or renounce it, follow the truth or remain in darkness
