Answer: Cain

Cain and Abel were the children of Adam and Eve, and their story is detailed in Genesis 4 of the bible and in Sura 5 of the Qur'an, as Qabil and Habil. In the bible, Cain kills Abel because he is more favoured by God, and is then banished to the Land of Nod.

The story is much the same in the Qur'an, however it goes into more detail, describing how Cain is prompted to bury the body of his brother by a raven scratching at the ground, who he believes is sent by God. According to Shi'a Muslims, Abel is buried in a mosque west of Damascus, Syria.
