highlighted words differ between verses

40:68 · Al-Ghaafir · Juz 24

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

He is the One Who gives life and causes death. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!

36:82 · Yaseen · Juz 23

إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

All it takes, when He wills something ˹to be˺, is simply to say to it: “Be!” And it is!

Both contain the identical phrase 'innama amruhu idha arada shay'an an yaqula lahu kun fa yakun' — a verbatim lafzi match across Ya-Sin and Ghafir.
