لَآ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ إِلَّا عَلَى وَمَآ أَنَا۠ ٱلَّذِينَ إِنَّهُم وَلَٰكِنِّىٓ ﴿٢٩﴾

Translation

And O my people, I ask not of you for it any wealth. My reward is not but from Allah. And I am not one to drive away those who have believed. Indeed, they will meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people behaving ignorantly.
