Surah al-Furqaan

وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَإِنَّهُ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَتَابًا

“And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allah with true repentance.” [25:71]

Repentance is mentioned alongside good deeds because Tawbah means to go back to Allaah and to have certainty to do plenty of good deeds.

Surah an-Namal

وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَانٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَا مُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّي لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْسَلُونَ

“But when he saw it moving as if it were a snake,” [27:10]

This was the first incident when his stick was turned into a snake. However the word “Jaan” meaning snake, refers to a small snake.

Whereas in Surah al-A’raaf; “Then [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick and behold! it was a serpent, manifest!” [7:107] the word “Thu’baan” or serpent is used, meaning it was a much bigger snake moving at a greater pace when the miracle occurred again in the assembly of Fir’awn.
