Al-Isra · Al-Kahf
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.
An-Nisa · Al-Isra
Both command worshipping Allah alone and treating parents with goodness (ihsan) — 4:36 says 'u'budu Allah wa la tushrikuu bihi... wa bil-walidayni ihsana' while 17:23 says 'alla ta'budu illa iyyahu wa bil-walidayni ihsana' with a different construction.
Al-Isra · Fussilat
Verbatim: 'when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and withdraws to the side; and when evil touches him, he is in despair'; both observe human ingratitude and despair as a recurring flaw -- 17:83 in Al-Isra, 41:51 in Fussilat.
Al-An'am · Al-Isra
Both forbid killing children out of poverty but 6:151 says 'min imlaq' (from current poverty) while 17:31 says 'khashyata imlaq' (fearing future poverty) — a significant difference in meaning.
