Sura Fuṣṣilat 41:15

فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا۟ مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَكَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ

fa-ammā ʿādun fa-istakbarū fī l-arḍi bi-ghayri l-ḥaqqi wa-qālū man ashaddu minnā quwwatan a-wa-lam yaraw annā allāha alladhī khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwatan wa-kānū bi-āyātinā yajḥadūna

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!
