Sura 5
Aya 30
30
فَطَوَّعَت لَهُ نَفسُهُ قَتلَ أَخيهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَصبَحَ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ

Yusuf Ali

The (selfish) soul of the other led him to the murder of his brother: he murdered him, and became (himself) one of the lost ones.1
  • The innocent unselfish pleading of the younger brother had no effect, for the soul of the other was full of pride, selfishness and jealousy. He committed the murder, but in doing so, ruined his own self.
