Al-Anbiya · Ya-Sin

An-Nahl · Al-Anbiya

Verbatim: 'We sent before you only men to whom We revealed; so ask the people of knowledge if you do not know'; 16:43 responds to objections about the Prophet's humanity, 21:7 makes the same point in the opening of Al-Anbiya.

Al-Anbiya · At-Tahrim

Both describe the divine spirit being breathed into Maryam but 21:91 uses 'fiha' (into her, feminine) while 66:12 uses 'fihi' (into it, masculine), referring to different grammatical antecedents.
