highlighted words differ between verses

18:2 · Al-Kahf · Juz 15

قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا

˹making it˺ perfectly upright, to warn ˹the disbelievers˺ of a severe torment from Him; to give good news to the believers—who do good—that they will have a fine reward,

17:9 · Al-Israa · Juz 15

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى لِلَّتِى هِىَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا

Surely this Quran guides to what is most upright, and gives good news to the believers—who do good—that they will have a mighty reward.

Both end with giving glad tidings to the believers but 17:9 uses 'yubashiru' (indicative) while 18:2 uses 'yubashira' (subjunctive) — a single vowel difference in the verb form.
