Al-Qashash · Ayah 4 · Juz 20 · Page 385

إِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ عَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهۡلَهَا شِيَعٗا يَسۡتَضۡعِفُ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنۡهُمۡ يُذَبِّحُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ ٤

Inna firʿawna ʿalā fil-arḍi wa jaʿala ahlahā shiyaʿay yastaḍʿifu ṭāʾifatam minhum yudhabbiḥu abnāʾahum wa yastaḥyī nisāʾahum, innahū kāna minal-mufsidīn.

Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.
