“Did He choose daughters...?”

Explanation

These readings both contain a rhetorical question, but only the first has an explicit hamzah of interrogation. *NB: this is also one narration from Warsh, from Nāfiʿ. The kasrah is not pronounced if the ayah is connected to the preceding one.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
