I assume that you were quoting from an ahadith. If so, please quote the whole hadith and the compiler (e.g. Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Dawood). I have the Alim software at home to search through hadith, but I am presently away on a trip.
I did a search on Islamicity.com and found this ayat in the Quran Yusuf Ali translation 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him,
but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.
The Quran does not specify the means by which people thought that Jesus had been crucified. Perhaps it is clarified in hadith, but I can't comment on that right now.
