An-Naml · Al-Qasas

Both describe Moses seeing his staff writhe like a jinn (jann) and fleeing without looking back; 27:10 is the first encounter at the burning bush, 28:31 reprises the same scene when Moses is formally commissioned.

Al-Qasas · Ya-Sin

Both say 'ja'a rajulun min aqsa al-madinah' but 28:20 places 'rajulun' before the location phrase while 36:20 places it after — 'min aqsa al-madinah rajulun'.

Yusuf · Al-Qasas

Identical formula applied to two prophets reaching maturity: 'We gave him judgment and knowledge; and thus do We reward the doers of good'; 12:22 is Yusuf, 28:14 is Musa.

Al-Qasas · As-Sajdah

Both describe the Quran's purpose as warning a people who received no warner before; 28:46 is embedded in the Moses narrative, 32:3 directly responds to the accusation that the Prophet invented the revelation.

Al-Qasas · Al-Qasas

Verbatim repetition within Surah Al-Qasas: 'and the Day He calls to them saying, where are My partners that you used to claim?'; the same call appears at 28:62 and again at 28:74 with the identical wording.
