Commentary
And when the caller to His obedience established it, he denied the one who forbids it by saying: "And I do not ask you for it" meaning: the call to Allah, "any reward" meaning: so that you do not accuse me because of it; and he denied his asking for others among the creatures by specifying the Creator, saying: "My reward is only with the Lord of the worlds" meaning: the One who is gracious to them by bringing them into existence and then nurturing them.
