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

Ali Quli Qarai

Then Allah sent a crow, exploring in the ground, to show him how to bury the corpse of his brother. He said, ‘Woe to me! Am I unable to be [even] like this crow and bury my brother’s corpse?’ Thus he became regretful.
