 According to the scholar Muhammad Asad the crucifixion of Jesus did not take place, nor was there any substitution "for Jesus, a person closely resembling him", thus among many Asad also rejects the theory of substitution mentioned with the words "none of these legends finds the slightest support in the Qur'an or in authentic Traditions, and the stories produced in this connection by the classical commentators must be summarily rejected".There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his/her own death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.- Quran 4
