highlighted words differ between verses

23:78 · Al-Muminoon · Juz 18

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

He is the One Who created for you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.

16:78 · An-Nahl · Juz 14

وَٱللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

And Allah brought you out of the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect so perhaps you would be thankful.

Both list 'al-sam'a wa al-absar wa al-af'idah' as divine gifts — 16:78 says 'wa ja'ala lakum al-sam'a wa al-absar wa al-af'idah la'allakum tashkurun' and 23:78 uses 'qalilan ma tashkurun' instead — same triad, different closing.
