Al-Ma'idah · Ayah 81 · Juz 6 · Page 121

وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مَا ٱتَّخَذُوهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ٨١

Wa law kānū yuʾminūna billāhi wan-nabiyyi wa mā unzila ilayhi mattakhadhūhum awliyāʾa wa lākinna kathīram minhum fāsiqūn.

And if they had believed in Allāh and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
