The Holy Quran 12:104 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

وَمَا تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Translation

You (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) do not ask from them (the people) a reward (wage) for it (for the Qur'aan). It (the Qur'aan) is but advice for the universe.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, if they do not accept, let them not accept — what loss is it to you? You were not asking them for any wage for your preaching that they could stop. It was admonition and counsel — and that has been delivered and is still being delivered.
