قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿واتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأ ابْنَيْ آدَمَ بِالحَقِّ﴾ الآيَةَ.
قالَ جُمْهُورُ العُلَماءِ: إنَّهُما ابْنا آدَمَ لِصُلْبِهِ، وهُما هابِيلُ، وقابِيلُ.
وَقالَ الحَسَنُ البَصْرِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: هُما رَجُلانِ مِن بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، ولَكِنَّ القُرْآنَ يَشْهَدُ لِقَوْلِ الجَماعَةِ، ويَدُلُّ عَلى عَدَمِ صِحَّةِ قَوْلِ الحَسَنِ، وذَلِكَ في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ غُرابًا يَبْحَثُ في الأرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُ كَيْفَ يُوارِي سَوْأةَ أخِيهِ﴾ [الحجر: ٣١]، ولا يَخْفى عَلى أحَدٍ أنَّهُ لَيْسَ في بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ رَجُلٌ يَجْهَلُ الدَّفْنَ حَتّى يَدُلَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الغُرابُ، فَقِصَّةُ الِاقْتِداءِ بِالغُرابِ في الدَّفْنِ، ومَعْرِفَتِهِ مِنهُ تَدُلُّ عَلى أنَّ الواقِعَةَ وقَعَتْ في أوَّلِ الأمْرِ قَبْلَ أنْ يَتَمَرَّنَ النّاسُ عَلى دَفْنِ المَوْتى، كَما هو واضِحٌ، ونَبَّهَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرُ واحِدٍ مِنَ العُلَماءِ، واللَّهُ تَعالى أعْلَمُ.
لَئِنۢ بَسَطتَ إِلَىَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِى مَآ أَنَا۠ بِبَاسِطٍۢ يَدِىَ إِلَيْكَ لِأَقْتُلَكَ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Explained together with ayah 27
إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَن تَبُوٓأَ بِإِثْمِى وَإِثْمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Indeed I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers."
Explained together with ayah 27
فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهُۥ نَفْسُهُۥ قَتْلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُۥ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers.
