And when wealth was the means of reaching authority, he said, negating what his wealth had brought him, explaining the lack of its sufficiency. "It has perished from me," meaning it has surpassed me to the extent that I seem as if I had never been in it for even an hour. "My authority," meaning my dominance over those who call to Allah with the false doubts that he used to express with his tongue, so I assist him in that while the invalidity of it appears. The kingdom that wealth brought him has returned, for that greatest kingdom has perished, and the helper is the farthest removed.
