﴿ لِّئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ أَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ مِّن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَأَنَّ ٱلْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴾

“And the followers of earlier revelation should know that they have no power whatever over any of God’s bounty, seeing that all bounty is in God’s hand [alone]: He grants it unto whomever He wills - for God is limitless in His great bounty.”

(That the People of the Scripture) 'Abdullah Ibn Salam and his followers (may know that they control naught of the bounty of Allah) of the reward of Allah, (but that the bounty) reward and honour (is in Allah's hand to give to whom He will) whoever deserves it. (And Allah is of Infinite Bounty) in relation to the believers in that He bestows upon them reward and honours them. The last two verses were revealed about 'Abdullah Ibn Salam when he boasted to Ubayy Ibn Ka'b and his friends that they had two rewards while others had only one'.
