The Qu'ran recounts the circumstances of Cain's murder of Abel in 5:27-31 (The Table), but mentions nothing else:

    5:27 AND CONVEY unto them, setting forth the truth, the story of the two sons of Adam -how each offered a
         sacrifice, and it was accepted from one of them whereas it was not accepted from the other. [And
         Cain] said: "I will surely slay thee!" [Abel] replied: "Behold, God accepts only from those who are
         conscious of Him.
    5:28 Even if thou lay thy hand on me to slay me, I shall not lay my hand on thee to slay thee: behold, I
         fear God, the Sustainer of all the worlds.
    5:29 I am willing, indeed, for thee to bear [the burden of] all the sins ever done by me as well as of
         the sin done by thee: [but] then thou wouldst be destined for the fire, since that is the requital
         of evildoers!" 
    5:30 But the others' passion drove him to slaying his brother; and he slew him: and thus he became one of
         the lost.
    5:31 Thereupon God sent forth a raven which scratched the earth, to show him how he might conceal the
         nakedness of his brother's body. [And Cain] cried out: "Oh, woe is me! Am I then too weak to do what
         this raven did, and to conceal the nakedness of my brother's body?" - and was thereupon smitten with
         remorse.
