Translation

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.

Tafsir

And recite, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, to them, your people, the story, the tale, of the two sons of Adam, Abel and Cain, truthfully (bi'l-haqq is semantically connected to utlu, 'recite'), how they each offered a sacrifice, to God, which in Abel's case was a ram, and in Cain's, some green crops, and it was accepted from one of them, namely, from Abel, when a fire came down from the sky and consumed his offering, and not accepted from the other, that is, from Cain, and so he became furious and kept secret his envy until Adam left on pilgrimage. He said, to him, 'I will surely slay you,', and the other said, 'Why?', to which the first replied, 'Because only your offering was accepted'. The other said, 'God accepts only from the God-fearing'.
