«فَوَسْوَسَ ... قَالَ»
He whispered ... He said.
Two verbs appear, but the second introduces the wording and manner of the whisper mentioned by the first. A natural tacit question is «بِمَاذَا وَسْوَسَ؟»—“What did he whisper?”
The order gives the audience the event first and its crucial content second. The verbs need not mean exactly the same thing. The rhetorical unity comes from the implied question being answered, rather than from simple synonymy.
