Say, [O Muḥammad], "I do not ask you for it [i.e., the Qur’ān] any payment, and I am not of the pretentious.
(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (I ask of you no fee) no payment or provision (for this) for belief in Allah's divine Oneness and in the Qur'an, (and I am no impostor) and I am not inventing anything.
(Lo! It) i.e. the Qur'an (is naught else than a reminder) an admonition (for all peoples) for the jinn and human beings.

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
(And ye will come in time to know the Truth thereof) you will know the Truth of the Qur'an and that which it contains of promises and threats after you believe; and it is also said: after death. Some came to know after they accepted faith: these are the believers; and some came to know after death and these are the disbelievers. Both came to know that what Allah said in the Qur'an is the Truth'.
