Sura Shura [42:23] 
ذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ۗ قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ ۗ وَمَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.

Sura Saba [34:47] 
قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
 Say: Whatever reward I have asked of you, that is only for yourselves; my reward is only with Allah, and He is a witness of all things.
This verse talks about how our messengers do not ask for any reward for guiding the people. “ my reward is only with Allah.....”
Their motive is not money or wealth but for the pleasure of Allah (swt) and to guide the people.
Now think and ask your own conscience, when you do a good deed is your motive for the pleasure of Allah (swt) or something else?

Sura Furqaan [25:57] 
قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا
Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.
Allah commands the Holy Prophet (S) to tell the people that he does not ask of them any reward for this Qur’an and conveying the message of Islam, except that people will follow their Lord.
This shows maximum kindness and sincerity of the holy Prophet (S) towards his followers, for he counts their happiness and bliss as his reward.
This shows maximum kindness and benevolence of the holy Prophet (S) towards his followers, for he counts their happiness and bliss as his reward.
It is clear that guidance of the nation (Umma) has got an extraordinary spiritual reward for the holy Prophet (S) because whoever leads people to a good deed is like the one who does this deed.
This testifies to the truthfulness of Prophet’s call and purification of his thought and program, for false claimers do this certainly for the sake of some direct or indirect reward.
