highlighted words differ between verses

21:38 · Al-Anbiyaa · Juz 17

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass if what you say is true?”

36:48 · Yaseen · Juz 23

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

And they ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”

Both quote the disbelievers asking 'mata hadha al-wa'd in kuntum sadiqin' (When will this promise come, if you are truthful?) in near-verbatim wording across two surahs.
