﴿ قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍۢ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ ﴾

“SAY [O Prophet]: “No reward whatever do I ask of you for this [message]; and I am not one of those who claim to be what they are not.”

(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (I ask of you no fee) no payment or provision (for this) for belief in Allah's divine Oneness and in the Qur'an, (and I am no impostor) and I am not inventing anything.
