وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

26:180 · Ash-Shu'araa · Juz 19

وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

Part of the Al-Shu'ara prophetic refrain: 'I ask you for no payment; my reward is only from the Lord of the worlds' -- appears five times in the surah (26:109 Nuh, 26:127 Hud, 26:145 Salih, 26:164 Lut, 26:180 Shu'ayb); this pair is Salih and Shu'ayb.
