Tafsir
Whoever desires by his deeds the reward of this world then God has the reward of this world and of the Hereafter for the one who wants it and no one else has it so why do any of you demand the lower reward? Why do you not seek the higher one by devoting yourself sincerely to Him since what reward he seeks can only be found with Him; God is ever Hearer Seer.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Whoso desireth the reward of the world) whoever desires worldly benefit for the works that Allah has obligated upon him, ((let him know that) with Allah is the reward of the world) let him do works for the reward of this world (and the Hereafter) are in Allah's hands. (Allah is ever Hearer) of what you say, (Seer) of your works.
