﴿ قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًۭا ﴾

“Say: “For this, no reward do I ask of you [- no reward] other than that he who so wills may unto his Sustainer find a way!””

(Say) O Muhammad to the people of Mecca: (I ask of you no reward) no payment or provision (for this) for professing Allah's divine Oneness and for the Qur'an, (save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord) through faith; it is also said that this means: save for the one who desires to profess Allah's divine Oneness and by means of this profession tread a way back to his Lord whereby he will find his reward.
