(26:105) The people of NūH rejected the messengers
(26:106) when their brother NūH said to them, “Do you not fear Allah
(26:107) I am an honest messenger for you
(26:108) So, fear Allah and obey me
(26:109) I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds
(26:110) so, fear Allah and obey me.”
(26:111) They said, “Shall we believe in you while you are followed by the lowest people?”
(26:112) He said, “I do not know about what they do
(26:113) their account is with none but with my Lord, if you have sense
(26:114) And I am not the one who would drive the believers away
(26:115) I am no more than a plain warner.”
(26:116) They said, “Should you not stop, O NūH, you will surely be stoned.”
(26:117) He said, “My Lord, my people have rejected me
(26:118) So judge between me and them with an open verdict, and save me and all the believers who are with me.”
(26:119) So We saved him and those with him in the Ark that was fully occupied
(26:120) Then We drowned, after that, all the remaining
(26:121) Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers
(26:122) and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Very-Merciful
وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ
And I do not claim from you any reward for it. - 26:109
It is learnt from this verse that charging and acceptance of wages against religious teachings and preaching is not right. Therefore, the righteous elders have ruled it as forbidden, but the later generations have allowed it under compelling circumstances. Its full details have been given under the explanation of the verse لَا تَشْتَرُ‌وا بِآيَاتِي ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا do not take a paltry price for My signs" - 2:41.
Special note
Here the verse فَاتَّقُوا اللَّـهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ (So, fear Allah and obey me - 110) is repeated twice to make clear that for the obedience of the Messenger and fear of Allah it was enough that the prophet has any one of the two qualities: One, his honesty and integrity, and the second, his teaching and preaching without a fee. But when the Messenger who is personified of all these traits, his obedience and the fear of his God becomes all the more necessary.
قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْ‌ذَلُونَ ﴿111﴾ قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿112﴾
They said, "Shall we believe in you while you are followed by the lowest people?" [ 111] He said, "I do not know about what they do. (26:111-112)
It is related in this verse that the disbelievers rejected the invitation of Sayyidna Nuh (علیہ السلام) to accept the faith on the plea that his followers were worthless poor people. So, how could they, the elite and noble, mix up with them? On this Nuh (علیہ السلام) replied that he did not know about their acts, thereby hinting that their understanding of nobility on the basis of family background, wealth, or status was wrong, and that the nobility or meanness and honour or disgrace is dependent on one's deeds and morals. Hence, it was their ignorance to put the label of sordidness on his followers, because they did not know about their deeds and disposition. Unless one knows fully well about the morals and deeds of others, it is not right to pass any judgment about them. (Qurtubi).
