( "And I ask of you no reward for it" ) — He says: I seek from you no compensation nor wage for my counsel to you and my command to you to fear the punishment of Allah by obeying Him in what He has commanded you and forbidden you. ( "My reward rests only with the Lord of the worlds" ) — and not with you, nor with any creature of Allah whatsoever.
