By The Right Hand
An additional confirmation that Muhammad wrote the Quran with his own hand can be found in 69:45 of the Quran where it states that God would have โseized him by the right handโ if he uttered any other teachings.
[69:44] Had he uttered any other teachings. [69:45] We would have punished him [seized him by the right hand]. [69:46] We would have stopped the revelations to him. [69:47] None of you could have helped him.

Why would God indicate that had Muhammad taught any other teachings other than the Quran that He would have seized him, Muhammad, โby the right handโ?
The context of 64:44 โ 47 is about Godโs revelations of the Quran, which was given to Muhammad to deliver. To provide assurances that Godโs verses were not altered by the messenger, God is telling us that if Muhammad were to write any other teachings, He would have seized his right hand, thus refraining him from being able to write any more of Godโs revelations.
The significance of stating that Muhammad would have been seized by the right hand is that the right hand is used for writing. We see this same word, โbil-yamฤซni ( ุจูุงููููู ูููู ),โ used elsewhere in the Quran in the context of Muhammad writing the scripture with his own hand.
[29:48] You did not read the previous scriptures, nor did you write them with your right hand. In that case, the rejectors would have had reason to harbor doubts.

This verse informs us that Muhammad did not write the previous scriptures with his right hand. This again confirms that Muhammad was a gentile who did not know the previous scripture and that he did write the Quran with his right hand, as God would have ceased it if he uttered any other teachings (69:44-47).
