Click a verse to open it, or Compare to see both side by side.

An-Nisa · Al-Fath

Both contain 'whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow'; 4:13 follows the limits of inheritance, 48:17 follows the exemption of the disabled from military duty.

Al-Fath · As-Saff

Third pair in the three-way set (see 9:33/48:28 and 9:33/61:9): all three share the opening about the Prophet sent with guidance to prevail over all religion; 9:33 and 61:9 are verbatim identical, while 48:28 ends 'sufficient is Allah as witness' instead of 'even if the polytheists dislike it.'

At-Tawbah · Al-Fath

Both open with the Prophet's mission to make truth prevail over all religion; 9:33 (also 61:9) ends 'even if the polytheists dislike it,' while 48:28 ends 'and sufficient is Allah as witness' -- same mission, different closing.

An-Nur · Al-Fath

Verbatim shared clause: 'there is no blame on the blind, no blame on the lame, no blame on the ill'; 24:61 grants them exception from eating etiquette rules, 48:17 excuses them from the obligation of military expedition.
