107. This means the reason for the infidels not accepting faith is not that you ask of them wages for accepting it, which they found burdensome. but it is due to their rebelliousness.Â
108. This means the reason for the infidels not accepting faith is not that you ask of them wages for accepting it, which they found burdensome. but it is due to their rebelliousness. This tells us that no Prophet contrary, in the Arabic language when one wants to describe anything of absolute excellence then such an expression is used.
An example of this is the following verse: "So blessed be Allah, the Best Creator" (S23:V14). The purpose of this verse is not to show excellence in any comparative form, but it is the expression of Divine excellence. Or it could mean that of the means that are available for obtaining sustenance, the most superior is the worship and remembrance of Allah Almighty.The servants of the kings and the wealthy obtain their sustenance by serving them. Hence, these wealthy people have become a means of obtaining their sustenance.

70. This was yet another proof of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) Prophethood. He was conveying the message without demanding any recompense for it, and he had no self interest in it. Nay, he had staked his business, reputation, peaceful home life, relationships with the unbelieving kindred for the success of his mission and was being ruthlessly persecuted for its sake. A selfish person could not have risked his all for the sake of only worldly motives. He would rather have exploited the racial and tribal prejudices of his people to become their ruler and leader. On the contrary, his message not only cut at the root of those prejudices but tended to destroy the very bases which helped his tribe to wield influence and authority over the polytheists of Arabia. This is an argument which the Quran has advanced again and again as a proof of the truth of the mission of the other Prophets as well. See (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 90); (Surah Yunus, Ayat 72); (Surah Hud, Ayat 29), (Surah Hud, Ayat 51); (Surah Yusuf, Ayat 104); (Surah Ya-Seen, Ayat 21) along with the relevant E.Ns.
