Commentary
And when he alerted to the fact that the intended purpose is the Hereafter, he explicitly stated the discouragement regarding the world by belittling the most significant thing in it. He said: "On the Day when no one will benefit," meaning: anyone, "wealth," meaning: that he would redeem [with it] or offer it to a powerful intercessor or supporter, "nor sons," by which he would seek help or support. So how about with others?
