سورة يوسف، الآية ١٠٤
وَمَا تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤
wamā tasaluhum ʿalayhi min ajrin in huwa illā dhik'run lil'ʿālamīna
And you do not ask of them for it any payment. It is not except a reminder to the worlds.
Verse 104 of Surah Yusuf (12:104), a Meccan surah, is in juz 13, on page 248 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
If they used their reason they would believe the Messenger (peace be upon him), because he did not ask any reward for the Qur’ān or for what he called them to. The Qur’ān is only a reminder for all people.
You are not asking them for any reward. It is only a reminder to the worlds.
And no reward you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) ask of them (those who deny your Prophethood) for it; it (the Qur’ân) is no less than a Reminder and an advice unto the ‘Âlamîn (men and jinn).
Thou askest them no fee for it. It is naught else than a reminder unto the peoples.
And no reward dost thou ask of them for this: it is no less than a message for all creatures.
And you do not ask them for a reward for this; it is nothing but a reminder for all mankind.
And in no way do you ask of them any reward for it; decidedly it is (nothing) except a Remembrance for the worlds.
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلَٰمَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muḥammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.
وَمَا كُنتَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْغَرْبِىِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَمْرَ وَمَا كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ …
And you, [O Muḥammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that]. …
مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ …
I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam]. …
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allāh. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
It is but a reminder to the worlds.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
It is not but a revelation revealed,
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
