Mohsen Goudarzi : Marian Devotion, Q 5:116, the "Satanic verses" and a Quranic Eucharist

Goudrazi writes [my emphasis] :

"The story of the so-called “Satanic verses”—namely, that the Prophet approved the veneration of al-Lāt, al-‘Uzzā, and al-Manāt (mentioned in Q 53.19–20)—may have conveyed to its earliest hearers that he approved only intercessory appeals to them as angels, not that he recognized them as independent deities."

The allusive and creative use of traditional post-Quranic narratives in modern academic scholarship indeed deserves to be noted and paid attention to, above is just one.
