Y: Recite to them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam.
Behold! they each presented a sacrifice (to Allah): It was accepted
from one, but not from the other. Said the latter: "Be sure I will slay
thee." "Surely," said the former, "Allah doth accept of the sacrifice
of those who are righteous."
P: But recite unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam, how
they offered each a sacrifice, and it was accepted from the one of them
and it was not accepted from the other. (The one) said: I will surely
kill thee. (The other) answered: Allah accepteth only from those who
ward off (evil).
S: And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam with truth when
they both offered an offering, but it was accepted from one of them and
was not accepted from the other. He said: I will most certainly slay
you. (The other) said: Allah only accepts from those who guard (against
evil).

Y: "If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for
me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear Allah,
the cherisher of the worlds."
P: Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me, I shall not
stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee, lo! I fear Allah, the
Lord of the Worlds.
S: If you will stretch forth your hand towards me to slay me, I am not
one to stretch forth my hand towards you to slay you surely I fear
Allah, the Lord of the worlds:

Y: "For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as
thine, for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is
the reward of those who do wrong."
P: Lo! I would rather thou shouldst bear the punishment of the sin
against me and thine own sin and become one of the owners of the fire.
That is the reward of evil-doers.
S: Surely I wish that you should bear the sin committed against me and
your own sin, and so you would be of the inmates of the fire, and this
is the recompense of the unjust.

Y: The (selfish) soul of the other led him to the murder of his brother:
he murdered him, and became (himself) one of the lost ones.
P: But (the other's) mind imposed on him the killing of his brother, so
he slew him and became one of the losers.
S: Then his mind facilitated to him the slaying of his brother so he
slew him; then he became one of the loser
