The Holy Quran 25:57 — Surah Al-Furqan

Arabic text

قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا

Translation

Say (to the Kuffaar, O Rasulullaah), "I do not ask you for any payment (for the message I am conveying to you) apart from being the person who wishes to tread a path towards his Rabb (having such faithful followers is all I ask for, not any other payment)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The task of the Prophet ﷺ is to convey the message: that is, your task is to announce glad tidings for loyalty to Almighty Allah and to warn the traitors of evil results and consequences. Then, whether anyone accepts or not, there is no loss to you. You were hardly asking them for any fee or wage, so that you might fear losing it through their refusal.
