In the Quran there seems to be only one verse i.e.4:157, that denies the crucifixion of Jesus. Even in that verse the denial is about what some Jews had claimed.

Even though there are hundreds of thousands of hadiths, none seems to deny categorically what the News Testament teaches about Jesus' crucifixion, death and resurrection.

Crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are so central and widespread among various Christian sects early on, including in the seventh century Arabia. Is there any clear evidence that denies the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Islamic texts, both in the Quran and Hadiths?

    Please be aware that the Qur'an is the word of Allah and it's the whole truth as per the Muslim belief. Secondly be aware that none of 'Isa's companion could witness a crucification since all of them were hidden after 'Isa's capture by the Jews therefore it is logical that the Qur'an addresses the Jews false witnesses since they lied in other to spread falsehood and fear among the Christians about 'Isa's crucification. So the Christian belief of the crucifixion is based on hearsay of their "enemies".

    @Medi1Saif I'm asking about semantics: You say "Please be aware that the Qur'an is the word of Allah and it's the whole truth". But is it also "all" of the truth? I have measured my room temperature, and there is nothing about it in the revealed Quran. In other words, if the Quran does not touch a subject, it does not serve to proof it never happened. You are not mentioned in the revealed Quran, but you still exist.

Allah revealed the verse due to the fact that the Jews claimed they crucified/killed Prophet Isa:

"And for boasting, “We killed the Masih, Isa, son of Maryam, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him." -Surah 4 verse 157

The crucifixion of Prophet Isa was only made to appear so, not that it ever happened.

This is what the next of the verse says:

"Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise." -Surah 4 verse 158

So Prophet Isa never died and was raised to Allah.
