Surah Al Nisa, 157 | وَّقَوۡلِهِمۡ اِنَّا قَتَلۡنَا الۡمَسِيۡحَ عِيۡسَى ابۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُوۡلَ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوۡهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوۡهُ وَلٰـكِنۡ شُبِّهَ لَهُمۡ ؕ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اخۡتَلَـفُوۡا فِيۡهِ لَفِىۡ شَكٍّ مِّنۡهُ ؕ مَا لَهُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡ
عِلۡمٍ اِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوۡهُ يَقِيۡنًا |
ומשום שהם אמרו ”אנו הרגנו את המשיח, ישוע בן מרים, שליח אללה.”, אך הם לא הרגו אותו ולא צלבו אותו, ורק נדמה להם, אלה אשר נחלקו אודותיו מטילים בו ספק, ואולם אין הם יודעים עליו דבר, ורק אחר דמיון שווא נוטים הם, הן, הם לא באמת [11]הרגו אותו |
