قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍۢ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌۭ

Say, "Whatever payment I might have asked of you - it is yours. My payment is only from Allah, and He is, over all things, Witness."

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

I do not ask for any Reward for conveying the Message

Allah 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 اللَّهِ

My wage is from Allah only, means, rather I will seek the reward for that with Allah.
