The meaning of wealth following the deceased in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Three things follow the deceased)
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: (Three things follow the deceased: two return and one remains; his wealth and his family return, and his deeds remain) How does his wealth follow him?
Does not a person, when he goes out, go out with his family, is that not so? And he goes out with his wealth, so what is his wealth?The scholars said: This is regarding the deceased who has slaves that follow him, and the slaves are his wealth, being sold and bought,And some scholars said: The intended meaning of his wealth is that which he is honored for,Meaning: That people other than his relatives and family go out with him for the sake of his wealth, if he was a merchant, so he used the term wealth to refer to those who follow for the sake of wealth, and for this reason we find that when a poor person is prayed for in the mosque, who follows him? Only those who carry the bier follow him, four or five or six, but if he is wealthy, may Allah will it, they fill the mosque, so this is the following of wealth,And it may be said: What he is covered with, such as garments or the like, returns, so this would be the intended meaning of wealth, but this is weak,So the meaning is either that it is said: The intended meaning of wealth is the slave servants, or the intended meaning of wealth is that which he is honored for, which is the multitude of people who are not from the family of the deceased.
