Al-Layl 92:19
The Night · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 596
Expecting No Return
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةࣲ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩
And none hath with him any favour for reward.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
No one has a favour with him to be repaid.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, he does not give because he owes anyone or feels indebted, nor does he expect anything in return for what he gives.
Reflect
Today, do a good deed expecting nothing in return.
