Crow I.E Hide سَوْءَةَ Allāh Searching Scratching Ground

Translation Then Allāh sent a crow searching [i.e., scratching] in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace[257] of his brother. He said, ''O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the disgrace [i.e., body] of my brother?'' And he became of the regretful.
Footnote [257] Referring to the dead body, evidence of his shameful deed.
Ayah فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابًا يَبْحَثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِ قَالَ يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِىَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِى فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰدِمِينَ
