1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

قَالَ‏ یَوَیْلَتَا أَعَجَزْتُ‏ أَنْ‏ أَآُونَ‏ مِثْلَ‏ هَذَا الْغُرَا ‏ِب
فَأُوَارِيَ‏ سَوْءَةَ‏ أَخِى فَأَصْبَحَ‏ مِنَ‏ الن َّدِمِينَ‏
He said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as
this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother!''
Then he became one of those who regretted.
The Story of Habil (Abel) and Qabil (Cain)
Allah describes the evil end and consequence of transgression,
envy and injustice in the story of the two sons of Adam, Habil
and Qabil.
One of them fought against the other and killed him out of envy
and transgression, because of the bounty that Allah gave his
brother and because the sacrifice that he sincerely offered to
Allah was accepted. The murdered brother earned forgiveness
for his sins and was admitted into Paradise, while the murderer
failed and earned a losing deal in both the lives.
Allah said,
103
وَاتْلُ‏ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ نَبَأَ‏ ابْنَيْ‏ آدَمَ‏ بِالْحَ‏ ِّق ...
And recite to them the story of the two sons of Adam in
truth;
meaning, tell these envious, unjust people, the
brothers of swine and apes from the Jews and
their likes among mankind, the story of the two
sons of Adam, Habil and Qabil, as many scholars
among the Salaf and later generations said.
Allah's statement, بِالْحَق ِّ (in truth),
means, clearly and without ambiguity, alteration,
confusion, change, addition or deletion.
Allah said in other Ayat,
إِن َّ هَذَا لَهُوَ‏ الْقَصَصُ‏ الْحَ‏ ُّق
