﴿ أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ﴾

“Or is it that [they who reject thy message, O Muhammad, fear lest] thou ask of them a reward, so that they would be burdened with debt [if they should listen to thee]?”

(Or askest thou) O Muhammad (a fee from them) in exchange for their faith (so that they are plunged in debt) so that they are drowned in debt if they accept to give you a fee?
