At-Tawbah · As-Saff

Identical verse about Allah sending His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions.

At-Tawbah · Al-Fath

Both open with the Prophet's mission to make truth prevail over all religion; 9:33 (also 61:9) ends 'even if the polytheists dislike it,' while 48:28 ends 'and sufficient is Allah as witness' -- same mission, different closing.

At-Tawbah · Ar-Rum

Both share the nations-wronging-themselves formula: 'their messengers came to them with clear proofs, and Allah was not going to wrong them, but they were wronging themselves'; 9:70 is in a list of destroyed nations, 30:9 closes the travel-and-observe invitation.

At-Tawbah · At-Tahrim

Identical command to the Prophet to strive against disbelievers and hypocrites and be stern with them; their abode is Hell.

At-Tawbah · Al-Jumu'ah

Verbatim: 'then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do'; 9:94 is addressed to the hypocrites who stayed behind from Tabuk, 62:8 responds to those who flee from death.

At-Tawbah · As-Saff

9:111 'inna Allah ishtara mina al-mu'minin anfusahum wa amwalahum bi anna lahum al-jannah' and 61:10-11 both describe the divine exchange of lives and wealth for Paradise — the same 'anfus + amwal' pair appears in both, but with different wording and context.

At-Tawbah · Hud

Both describe Ibrahim as 'awwah halim' but 11:75 reverses the order to 'halim awwah' and adds 'munib' (ever-returning to Allah) at the end.
