Aya 31
31
فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ غُرابًا يَبحَثُ فِي الأَرضِ لِيُرِيَهُ كَيفَ يُواري سَوءَةَ أَخيهِ ۚ قالَ يا وَيلَتا أَعَجَزتُ أَن أَكونَ مِثلَ هٰذَا الغُرابِ فَأُوارِيَ سَوءَةَ أَخي ۖ فَأَصبَحَ مِنَ النّادِمينَ

T. B. Irving

God sent a raven to scratch the earth in order to show him how to dispose of his brother's corpse. He said: "It's too bad for me! Have I failed to be like this raven and dispose of my brother's corpse?" So one morning he felt full of remorse.
