The answer

The repetition of stories and phrases in the Qur’an, with variations in context and wording, is a characteristic of Qur’anic narratives, owing to their eloquence. Scholars have authored books on this topic. Some of its benefits include:

1. Adding details not mentioned previously.

2. Affirming the challenge and the inability of the polytheists to produce its like.

3. Dispelling boredom from the story.

4. Demonstrating the miraculous nature in presenting diverse forms in composition while conveying a single meaning.

5. Ensuring coherence between the topic and the occasion for which the story was revealed.

The story has been mentioned in many surahs, and in each surah there is what is not found in others, in a manner that aligns with its subject and context.
