How do we respond to a Jew who denies the sayings attributed to them in the Holy Quran, claiming they are mere allegations for which there is no proof from their texts?

The refutation of a Jewish objection that the statements attributed to Jews in the Quran are not found in their books can be summarized as follows: 1. The fact that contemporary Jews at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not deny what was mentioned in the Quran about the statements of their ancestors is evidence of the authenticity of what was transmitted. 2. In the Arabic language, it is permissible to attribute a statement to a group even if its speaker was an individual or a few among them, especially if the rest remained silent and did not object to the statement, which implies their approval of it. 3. The statements mentioned in the Quran are statements that originated from groups of Jews during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or before, and are not necessarily explicitly stated in their religious books.

Examples of this include: "Ezra is the son of God": This was said by some Jews of Medina and the "Isfahaniyyah" sect. The absence of denial from contemporary Jews at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) confirms this. "The hand of Allah is chained": This was said by "Phinehas son of Azariah," "Shas bin Qais," and other Jews. "We are the children of Allah and His beloved ones": This was said by some Jews to the Prophet (peace be upon him). They used to distort the interpretation of their books and claim honor through this statement.

These statements are firmly established as having been said by Jews, and the fact that the objecting Jew does not say them now does not negate that they were said in the past.
