46. Or do you ask them for a payment, so that they are weighed down by debt [22]?
[22] You are inviting all people to Allah and conveying His message, and whatever you are doing, you are doing it sincerely and selflessly. Now, if these Qurayshi chiefs accept this invitation, then let them do so; if they do not, then let them not. Then, if other people accept this invitation, why do they become so enraged?
