Was Abel a Muslim?

The story of Cain and Abel is very famous both in Bible and Quran.

According to Quran,when Abel understood that Cain intend to kill him he said:



Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me, I shall not stretch out
my hand against thee to kill thee, lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.



(5:28)

Is that Islamic atitued? sound more like the christian atitued of the other cheek:



But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the
right cheek, turn to him the other also.

(Matthew 5:39)


I wonder if muslims take it as Islamic way and if so,who exactly follow this way?
