سورة الأحقاف، الآية ١١Surah Al-Ahqaf, ayah 11 (46:11)
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَوۡ كَانَ خَيۡرًا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيۡهِ وَإِذۡ لَمۡ يَهۡتَدُواْ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَٰذَآ إِفۡكٌ قَدِيمٌ ١١
The meaning in English
And those who disbelieve (the strong and wealthy) say of those who believe (the weak and poor): "Had it (Islâmic Monotheism to which Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is inviting mankind) been a good thing, they (the weak and poor) would not have preceded us thereto!" And when they have not let themselves be guided by it (this Qur’ân), they say: "This is an ancient lie!"

التفسير الميسر
وقال الذين جحدوا نبوة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم للذين آمنوا به: لو كان تصديقكم محمدًا على ما جاء به خيرًا ما سبقتمونا إلى التصديق به، وإذ لم يهتدوا بالقرآن ولم ينتفعوا بما فيه من الحق فسيقولون: هذا كذب، مأثور عن الناس الأقدمين
