Surah Al-Anbiya (21:36)

وَاِذَا رَاٰكَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِنۡ يَّتَّخِذُوۡنَكَ اِلَّا هُزُوًا ؕ اَهٰذَا الَّذِىۡ يَذۡكُرُ اٰلِهَـتَكُمۡۚ وَهُمۡ بِذِكۡرِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wa-itha raaka allatheenakafaroo in yattakhithoonaka illa huzuwan ahathaallathee yathkuru alihatakum wahum bithikriarrahmani hum kafiroon

And when those who disbelieve see you, O Muḥammad, they take you not except in ridicule, saying, "Is this the one who mentions i.e., insults your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.
