Verse 31

First death and first burial incidental to humankind on earth.31- Unable to handle the corpse of his brother, he was at a loss. There and then did Allah send a raven to remove earth with its claws to bury a dead raven so that the killer would know how to dispose of his brother's corpse? The raven having shamed him with its notable performance, he said: Woe betide me; have I not been even able to be like this raven to dispose of my brothers corpse and obstruct the view of my crime!  And there he was left with nothing but pining regrets and vain repentance.
