Prophet Jonah - 10:83
Only a few of his people believed in Moses because they feared the torture and oppression of Pharaoh and his men. Pharaoh was a tyrant in the earth who exceeded the limits.
Pharaoh's council:
The Spider/29:39
And Karun, Pharaoh and Haman. Moses had gone to them with clear proofs, but they were arrogant in the earth. They could not escape.
وَقَارُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَهُمْ مُوسٰى بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوا سَابِق۪ينَۚ
The Forgiver/40:23
We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority.
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوسٰى بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُب۪ينٍۙ
The Forgiver/40:24
"We said to Pharaoh, Haman and Karun. They said: "This is a magician and a liar"."
اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَقَارُونَ فَقَالُوا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ
