Book of Mormon Mormon 1:19
"even unto the fulfilling of all the words of Abinadi, and also Samuel the Lamanite"
Book of Mormon Helaman 13:5
"I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart"

The narrator's own named fulfillment: Mormon states that the power of the evil one 'was wrought upon all the face of the land, even unto the fulfilling of all the words of Abinadi, and also Samuel the Lamanite' (Mormon 1:19). The ground is textual fact -- the narrator explicitly names the prophet whose words are fulfilled -- not a tight doctrinal quote pair; this is a paraphrase (named allusion / fulfillment declaration), anchored at Samuel's thesis verse where he names himself and frames the whole sermon: 'I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart' (Helaman 13:5). Shared verbatim element is the appellation ('Samuel the Lamanite' / 'I, Samuel, a Lamanite') and 'the words'. Two prophets are named in Mormon 1:19: the Abinadi half ('the words of Abinadi') is abinadi.md's material, which cross-links to this record; the Samuel half is registered here. Mormon 1:19's setting is the sorceries/witchcrafts/magics and the evil one's power over the land -- the moral collapse Samuel foretold.
