يَٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِىٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason?

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

The Story of Prophet Hud and the People of `Ad

Allah, the Exalted, says,

و

(And) This is an introductory to what is implied: "Verily, We sent."

إِلَى عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا

(to the `Ad (people) their brother Hud.) Hud came to them commanding them to worship Allah alone, without any associates. He forbade them from worshipping the idols which they made up, inventing names as gods. He informed them that he did not want any reward from them for his sincere advising and conveying of Allah's Message. He only sought his reward from Allah, the One Who created him.
