وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِىٓ أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُۥٓ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْفَسَادَ Qur’an Ghafir (40:26)
Waq a la firAAawnu th aroonee aqtul moos a walyadAAu rabbahu innee akh a fu an yubaddila deenakum aw an yu th hira fee alar d i alfas a d a
And Pharaoh said: "Leave it to me to slay Moses-and let him invoke his [alleged] sustainer!18 Behold, I fear lest he cause you to change your religion, or lest he cause corruption to prevail in the land!"

My interpolation of the word "alleged", is necessitated by the obvious sarcasm of Pharaoh's remark.

Finally Fir'on said: "Let me kill Musa; and let him invoke his Rabb! I fear that he may change your religion or that he may cause mischief to appear in the land."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

And Pharaoh said, 'Let me kill Moses, and let him call upon his Lord! I truly fear that he may change your traditions or cause mischief in the land.'

And Pharaoh said: Suffer me to kill Moses, and let him cry unto his Lord. Lo! I fear that he will alter your religion or that he will cause confusion in the land.

Said Pharaoh: "Leave me to slay Moses; and let him Call on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your religion or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the land!" 4393 4394

This is an episode that occurs when Moses, invested with his mission, confronts Pharaoh in his Court and preaches to him: see xx. 49 and following verses; also xx. 57, 63.

Some of Pharaoh's people did afterwards give up the worship of Pharaoh and of the Egyptian gods and believed "in the Lord of Aaron and Moses" and in fact suffered martyrdom for the Faith of Unity: xx. 70-73.
