Quran 24:11-25 Specifics About The Incident
There is no argument regarding that. Yes, we have to go to those extra-Qur’anic sources to know the details. But history, whether it is in the hadith+seerah literature or in the Old+New Testaments, is something which needs interpretation. Qur’an is a commentary on the religious history of mankind, which started with Adam and ended with the life of Prophet Muhammad. Think of how 4:157-159 is a commentary on the last few days of Isa (a.s.)’s mission. For the details we have to consult the New Testament no doubt. But without Qur’an’s guidance we will start drawing our own conclusions about what to make of the ending of his mission. Whatever approach we would take regarding the history prior to Qur’an, will be the same approach regarding the history contemporaneous or later to it.
