There's a solid basis for the statement.
It's taken from the Qur'an that Allah sent "among the unlettered ones a Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) from among themselves":
#{فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ}
**Surat Al-Jumu'ah** 62:2
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ **فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ** رَسُولًا **مِّنْهُمْ** يَتْلُواۡ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۧ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواۡ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
>*He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and Al-Hikmah. And verily, they had been before in mainfest error;*
and we read in the Qur'an that he (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) didn't read or write:
**Surat Al-'Ankabut** 29:48
**وَمَا كُنتَ تَتْلُواۡ مِن قَبْلِهِۧ مِن كِتَٰبٍ وَلَا تَخُطُّهُو بِيَمِينِكَۖ** إِذًا لَّٱرْتَابَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ
>*Neither did you (O Muhammad SAW) read any book before it (this Quran), nor did you write any book (whatsoever) with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted.*
He (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is even literally referred to as "the illiterate Prophet" in two verses in a row:
#{ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ}
**Surat Al-A'raf** 7:157-158
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ **ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ** ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُو مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواۡ بِهِۧ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُواۡ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُوٓۙ أُوۡلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
>*Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad SAW) whom they find written with them in the Taurat (Torah) (Deut, xviii, 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16), - he commands them for Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained); and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); he allows them as lawful At-Taiyibat [(i.e. all good and lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.], and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khaba'ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.), he releases them from their heavy burdens (of Allah's Covenant), and from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad SAW), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Quran) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.*
قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِى لَهُو مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۧ وَيُمِيتُۖ فَئَامِنُواۡ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ **ٱلنَّبِىِّ ٱلْأُمِّىِّ** ٱلَّذِى يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَٰتِهِۧ وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
>*Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah - to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He); It is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad SAW) who believes in Allah and His Words [(this Quran), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and also Allah's Word: "Be!" - and he was, i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary)], and follow him so that you may be guided."*

It’s sad to hear people call our prophet illiterate.
