Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:58)

وَقَالُـوۡٓا ءَاٰلِهَتُنَا خَيۡرٌ اَمۡ هُوَؕ مَا ضَرَبُوۡهُ لَكَ اِلَّا جَدَلًا ؕ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Waqaloo aalihatunakhayrun am huwa ma daraboohu laka illajadalan bal hum qawmun khasimoon

And they said, "Are our gods better, or is he?" They did not present it i.e., the comparison except for mere argument. But, in fact, they are a people prone to dispute.
