highlighted words differ between verses

2:37 · Al-Baqara · Juz 1

فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَـٰتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

20:122 · Taa-Haa · Juz 16

ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ

Both describe Allah accepting Adam's repentance — 2:37 says 'fa taba 'alayhi innahu huwa al-tawwab al-rahim' while 20:122 says 'fa taba 'alayhi wa hada,' both share 'taba 'alayhi' but end differently: forgiveness and mercy in 2:37, guidance in 20:122.
