| | Cain and Abel: Scriptures and Folktales |
 | | And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. |
 | | Abel was the stronger of the two, and would easily have prevailed against his brother, but he answered, "If you stretch forth your hand against me, to slay me, I will not stretch forth my hand against you to slay you, for I fear Allah, the Lord of all creatures." |
 | | Abel, however, on the contrary, was greatly disposed to labor, because he had found it profitable. |
