Al-Furqan 25:60

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ قَالُواْ وَمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ أَنَسۡجُدُ لِمَا تَأۡمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمۡ نُفُورٗا۩

When it is said to them, “Prostrate to the Most Beneficent,” they ask ˹in disgust˺, “What is ‘the Most Beneficent’? Will we prostrate to whatever you order us to?” And it only drives them farther away.
