وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ من أجر (And I ask you no reward for it) — that is to say: I ask of you no recompense nor wage for my counsel to you and my summoning of you to my Lord. He says: my reward for summoning you to Allah, for my counsel to you, and for conveying the messages of Allah to you, rests solely with the Lord of the Worlds.
