Surah Al-Qasas (28:48)

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الۡحَـقُّ مِنۡ عِنۡدِنَا قَالُوۡا لَوۡلَاۤ اُوۡتِىَ مِثۡلَ مَاۤ اُوۡتِىَ مُوۡسٰى ؕ اَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفُرُوۡا بِمَاۤ اُوۡتِىَ مُوۡسٰى مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۚ قَالُوۡا سِحۡرٰنِ تَظَاهَرَا وَقَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Falamma jaahumu alhaqqumin AAindina qaloo lawla ootiya mithla maootiya moosa awa lam yakfuroo bima ootiya moosamin qablu qaloo sihrani tathaharawaqaloo inna bikullin kafiroon

But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "They are but two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."
