Al-Ma'idah 27

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ ابْنَيْ اٰدَمَ بِالْحَقِّۢ اِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَانًا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْاٰخَرِۜ قَالَ لَاَقْتُلَنَّكَۜ قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ ۝٢٧

27And relate to them, with a true purpose, the story of the two sons of Adam. Recall when they each offered a sacrifice, and it was accepted from one of them and not from the other. (The one whose sacrifice was not accepted) said: "I will certainly kill you!" The other said: "Allah accepts only from those who act responsibly."
