quran:37:153

Has He chosen daughters over sons?  

Has He preferred daughters to sons? (read a’stafā, ‘has He preferred’, indicating an interrogative ˹hamza˺, which stands in place of the omitted conjunctive hamza).
القرآن:٣٧:١٥٣

أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ  

{أصطفى} بفتح الهمزة للاستفهام واستغني بها عن همزة الوصل فحذفت، أي أختار {البنات على البنين}.
