Al-A'raf · Sad

Verbatim quote of Iblees's arrogance: 'He said: I am better than him; You created me from fire and created him from clay'; 7:12 is in the Al-A'raf account of the prostration, 38:76 reprises the same dialogue in Sad.

Al-Hijr · Sad

Identical divine command: when Allah has fashioned Adam and breathed His spirit into him, the angels must prostrate.

Al-Baqarah · Sad

Both describe Iblis refusing to prostrate and being among the disbelievers but 38:74 adds 'istakbara' (acted arrogantly) before 'wa kana min al-kafirin', which 2:34 omits.
