Muhammad did not have a physical miracle

The Quran informs us that Muhammad did not have a physical miracle.

[10:20] They say, โ€œHow come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?โ€ Say, โ€œThe future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting along with you.โ€

The Quran informs us that God stopped sending the kind of physical miracles that were sent in the past.

[17:59] What stopped us from sending the miracles is that the previous generations have rejected them. For example, we showed Thamรปd the camel, a profound (miracle), but they transgressed against it. We sent the miracles only to instill reverence.

The Quran also informs us that Muhammad's only miracle was the Quran.

[29:50] They said, โ€œIf only miracles could come down to him from his Lord!โ€ Say, โ€œAll miracles come only from GOD; I am no more than a manifest warner.โ€ [29:51] Is it not enough of a miracle that we sent down to you this book, being recited to them? This is indeed a mercy and a reminder for people who believe.

If Muhammad could produce the Quran despite being illiterate, that would contradict the above verses and signify that Muhammad received a physical miracle beyond the Quran.
