Transliteration:( Wa maa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen )
128. This means no one asks for a salary for propagating the Religion of Allah Almighty. Thus, if a Prophet accepts payment for any other thing it would not be going against this.
From this, we learn that it is prohibited for a person to seek payment for a thing which is obligatory upon him. Many religious laws are arranged on this principle. To give a salary to a religious scholar for the purpose of Imamat is permissible because this responsibility which he is performing is not obligatory upon him. However, he cannot take payment for expounding a religious issue.Â
129. Because He who has sent me for conveying this message will reward me for it.
