Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

I do not ask for any Reward for conveying the MessageAllah commands His Messenger to say to the idolators:مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّن أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ(Whatever wage I might have asked of you is yours.) meaning, `I do not want anything for conveying the Message of Allah to you, advising you and telling you to worship Allah.'إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِMy wage is from Allah only, means, rather I will seek the reward for that with Allah.
