Then Allah sent a raven scratching in the earth to show him in what wise he might cover the corpse of his brother. He said: woe unto me was incapable of being like unto this raven so that I might cover the corpse of my brother! And he became of the remorseful.
خدا كلاغى را واداشت تا زمين را بكاود و به او بياموزد كه چگونه جسد برادر خود پنهان سازد. گفت: واى بر من، نتوانم همانند اين كلاغ باشم و پيكر برادرم را دفن كنم. و در زمره پشيمانان درآمد.
