

ﲅ ﲆ ﲇ ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

أم تسٲلهم أجرا

Or is it that you ask a wage from them? meaning, `as a remuneration for your preaching Allah's Message to them! Nay, you, do not ask them for a wage,'

فهم من مغرم مثقلون

so that they are burdened with a load of debt, meaning, for in this situation, one will complain of the least bothersome thing and feel it difficult and burdensome for him,

أم عندهم الغيب فهم يكتبون
