[05] Surah Al-Ma'idah [The Table Spread With Food]
Ayat 30. So the Nafs (self) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers.
Ayat 31. Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?" Then he became one of those who regretted.
Tafseer of Surah Al Ma'idah Ayat 30 & 31. 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. The innocent unselfish pleading of the younger brother had no effect, for the soul of the other was full of pride, selfishness and jealousy. He committed the murder, but in doing so, ruined his own self. 31. Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets- Saw 'ah may mean "corpse", with a suggestion of nakedness and shame in two senses: (1) the sense of being exposed without burial, and (2) the sense of being insulted by being violently deprived by the unwarranted murder, of the soul which inhabited it - the soul, too, of a brother. The thought at last came home to the murderer. It was dreadful indeed to slay anyone-the more so as he was a brother, and an innocent righteous brother! But worse still, the murderer had not even the decency to bury the corpse, and of this simple duty he was reminded by a raven-a blackbird usually held in contempt! His regret was on that account That was no true repentance.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "A believer continues to guard his Faith (and thus hopes for Allah's Mercy) so long as he does not shed blood unjustly (involve in murdering someone)".
[Al-Bukhari].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayat 30. So the Nafs (self) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers” This Hadith has two meanings. Firstly, so long as a Muslim does not kill another Muslim, he remains, by the Grace of Allah, capable of acting upon the Deen. That is to say, he is more hopeful of the Mercy of Allah, and deserves it also, as long as he does not commit murder. When he kills an innocent person, the gate of Allah's Compassion is closed on him.
