The Holy Quran 34:47 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Translation

(O Rasulullaah ﷺ) Say (to the Kuffaar), "(If you claim that I have asked you for some payment for accepting my message, then listen.) You can keep whatever payment I may have asked of you. My reward is Allaah's responsibility (with Allaah) and He is Witness over all things (my honesty and intentions are with Him)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, I do not ask you for any reward for my labour. If, in your view, I have demanded some recompense, keep it all for yourselves — I have no need of it. My reward is with Allah. And what I do ask of you, namely iman (faith) and Islam, is solely for your own benefit. Beyond that I have no aim. that is, my truthfulness and my intention are before Allah.
