Western Asia. The Arab book tradition (tafsir to the Koran) ["Kabil and Habil are characters in Muslim legends, Adam's two sons, the biblical Cain and Abel. Their names are not in the Koran, but there is a story about how Adam's sons made a sacrifice that was accepted only by one. <... > Commentators give names - K. (var. Kane), H. and report the reason for the quarrel. Each of the brothers had a twin sister. Adam ordered them to marry each other's sister. K., however, wanted to marry his own sister, beautiful Aclima, and not to his ugly sister X. Labuda. This dispute was to be decided by lot in the form of a sacrifice. Since the murder that followed him was the first death on earth, K. did not know what to do with the corpse, and carried it on his back in a sack for a year before burying it when he saw the crows tear the ground. Tradition connects the descendants of K. with the invention of musical instruments, games and entertainment that distract people from piety and work. South Arabian folk legends place K.'s grave in Aden"]: Piotrovsky 1994:124.

Turkestan. Kazakhs (1901, Abubakir Divayev wrote) [Allah warns Adam not to eat wheat growing on a tree, otherwise he will be expelled from the Garden of Eden. Shaitan tempts Eve to try it, and she, in turn, convinces Adam, says that she did not eat anything sweeter. Adam eats wheat bread and he and Eve are expelled naked from the Garden of Eden. They turn to all trees, but only figs give them leaves to cover their nudity. The Earth is shrouded in darkness, and Adam and Eve have been wandering apart in darkness for a hundred years. They're reunited in a hundred years. Eva gives birth to a boy and a girl, the boy is called Kabyl. Then another boy and a girl are born, this boy is called Abil. Kabyl and Abil are coming of age. Kabyl says that he is marrying a beautiful woman; Abil, who is what Allah predestined. The girl born with Kabyl is ugly, and the one born with Abil is beautiful. During the argument, Kabyl kills Abil. Not knowing what to do with the body, Kabyl wears Abil dead on his back for 10 days. Two crows fight, one kills the other, buries a corpse. Kabyl, seeing this, understands what to do and buries Abila. Adam, upon learning about the incident, expels Kabyl along with two girls. They settle in the mountains, live hunting, and the Kara-Kyrgyz came from them. Those Kara-Kyrgyz women who came from being born with Abel are beautiful; from one born with Kabyl, they are beautiful.
