Surah Al-Ma'idah
فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابًا يَبْحَثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِىَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِى ۖ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰدِمِينَ
Fa ba‘aṡallāhu gurābay yabḥaṡu fil-arḍi liyuriyahū kaifa yuwārī sau'ata akhīh(i), qāla yā wailatā a‘ajazta an akūna miṡla hāżal-gurābi fa uwāriya sau'ata akhī, fa aṣbaḥa minan-nādimīn(a).
Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?" And he became of the regretful.
