Surah Ar-Ra'd (13:36)

وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰتَيۡنٰهُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ يَفۡرَحُوۡنَ بِمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ وَمِنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ مَنۡ يُّـنۡكِرُ بَعۡضَهٗؕ قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَاۤ اُشۡرِكَ بِهٖؕ اِلَيۡهِ اَدۡعُوۡا وَاِلَيۡهِ مَاٰبِ‏ ۝

Wallatheena ataynahumualkitaba yafrahoona bima onzila ilaykawamina al-ahzabi man yunkiru baAAdahu qulinnama omirtu an aAAbuda Allaha wala oshrikabihi ilayhi adAAoo wa-ilayhi maab

And the believers among those to whom We have given the previous Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, O Muḥammad, but among the opposing factions are those who deny part of it i.e., the Qur’ān. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allāh and not associate anything with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."
