Explanation of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “And his wealth,” how does it follow him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The word “wealth” may be confusing to some: how does it follow him? His family, of course, goes out to see him off, so how does the wealth follow him?
It was previously interpreted in terms of what was the reality at the time, and we can interpret it today in terms of a new reality, whether it conforms to the Shari'ah or contradicts it; because it is a reality in any case. The wealth here that follows the deceased was interpreted as slaves, servants, and slaves, and this is still observed regarding some kings who still enslave some people. So, based on what the reality was at that time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
His family and his wealth follow him يتبَعُه أهلُه ومالُه
