Surah Saba Tafseer

I do not ask for any Reward for conveying the Message

Allah commands His Messenger to:

قُلْ

Say,

Allah commands His Messenger to say to the idolators:

مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ 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 أَجْرِيَ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ

My wage is from Allah only,

means, rather I will seek the reward for that with Allah.

وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

and He is a Witness over all things.

means, He knows all things, and He knows everything about me and the manner in which I am conveying the Message to you, and He knows all about you.

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
