Several parables or pieces of narrative appear in the Quran, often with similar motifs to Jewish and Christian traditions which may predate those in the Quran.[1]
Some included legends are the story of Cain and Abel (sura al-Ma'idah, of Abraham destroying idols (sura al-Anbiya 57), of Solomon's conversation with an ant (sura an-Naml), the story of the Seven Sleepers, and several stories about Mary, mother of Jesus. Parallel narratives include the stories of Abraham and the Idol Shop (Genesis Rabbah, 38) and Valley of the ants.
Folklorist Alan Dundes has noted three "folktales" in the Quran that fit the pattern of those included in the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index of folklore narratives.[2] Peter G. Bietenholz has also noted legends in the Quran that share themes found in Jewish and Christian legends.[1]
