Surah Az-Zumar (39:45)

وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَحۡدَهُ اشۡمَاَزَّتۡ قُلُوۡبُ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَاِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wa-itha thukira Allahuwahdahu ishmaazzat quloobu allatheena layu/minoona bil-akhirati wa-itha thukiraallatheena min doonihi itha hum yastabshiroon

And when Allāh is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those worshipped other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.
