Does Allah intend "His servant" in verse 10 of Surat An-Najm, "So He revealed to His servant what He revealed," to be Gabriel or Muhammad, especially since the preceding verses described Gabriel?

Al-Baghawi, Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, and Al-Shawkani stated that the intended meaning of "His servant" in the verse is Muhammad, peace be upon him. There is another opinion which suggests that the intended meaning is Gabriel, peace be upon him. Both interpretations are possible, but the first opinion is more probable.
