Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: What is the meaning of "and the one who has wealth does not benefit from his wealth"? May Allah grant the wrongdoers among us to the doers of good, and Exalted is Your majesty?
Answer : The meaning of the statement "and wealth and children will not benefit you from Allah" is that the one who possesses wealth and fortune—and wealth and fortune are riches, luck, and money—will not be benefited by them from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For if Allah[Ar-Ra'd 13:11], then if Allah intends evil for this wealthy person, his money will not save him; if He intends evil for the one with this fortune, his fortune will not save him. Therefore, the wealth and fortune of the one who possesses them will not benefit him from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
As for the statement "May Allah grant the wrongdoers among us to the doers of good," I do not know that this dhikr (remembrance) is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is reported from the Messenger, so let him guide us to it, may Allah reward him with good. However, it appears to me that its meaning is to make the wrongdoers among us like the doers of good, so that all are equal in reward. Or the meaning of "May Allah grant the wrongdoers among us to the doers of good" is to make the doers of good intercede for the wrongdoers, so that they may have reward from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
As for the statement "and Exalted is Your majesty," the meaning of "Exalted is Your majesty" is that Your greatness and Your dominion are exalted. The meaning of "Exalted" is that He is high and great. The majesty attributed to Allah is greatness and majesty.
Answer : The meaning of the statement "and wealth and children will not benefit you from Allah" is that the one who possesses wealth and fortune—and wealth and fortune are riches, luck, and money—will not be benefited by them from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For if Allah

And whoever knows that
