The word changes from the accusative (nasb) to the nominative (raf') case, shifting the grammatical structure to form an independent nominal clause with an implied subject (i.e., 'they are equal').

The variant reads the word with a kasra tanween (sawā'in) in the genitive case, making it an adjective modifying the preceding word 'days' (ayyāmin). Hafs reads it with a fatha tanween (sawā'an) in the accusative case as a circumstantial modifier or absolute object.

The verb changes from a third-person passive (yuhsharu) to a first-person plural active (nahshuru) through a change in diacritical dots (Ya to Nun) and vowels. Consequently, the grammatical case of 'enemies' shifts from the nominative subject to the accusative direct object.

The verb changes from the passive voice 'turjaʿūn' (you are returned) to the active voice 'tarjiʿūn' (you return) due to a change in the internal vowels.

Hafs reads 'rabat' (from the root R-B-W) meaning 'swells' or 'grows', while the variant reads 'raba'at' with a hamzah (from the root R-B-') meaning 'rises' or 'becomes higher'.

Hafs reads the word in the plural form (fruits, indicated by the dagger alif), whereas the variant reads it in the singular form (fruit/product) without the alif.
