Crucifixion Of Christ (Quran 4:157)
Her is an excerpt from Al-Tabari: Jesus went into a house together with seventeen of his companions. The Jew surrounded them but when they burst in God made all the disciples look like Jesus. The pursuers, supposing that they had bewitched them, threatened to kill them all if they did not expose him. Then Jesus asked his companions which of them would purchase paradise for himself thath day. One man volunteered and went out saying that he was Jesus and as God had made him look like Jesus they took him, killed him and crucified him. Thereupon “a semblance was made to them” and they thought that they had killed Jesus. The Christians likewise thought that it was Jesus who had been killed. And God raised Jesus right away.
This was a reference for Muslims just as to what Ghamidi Sahab thinks could be plausible ( not a statement of fact ). As long as we are distinguishing clearly between what is written in Quran and what is written in any external source of information, a scholar can use any reference which he thinks could be plausible according to him and doesn’t stand in open contradiction with Quran. There is no need to present this as an argument to non-Muslims.
