Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The servant says: ‘My wealth, my wealth,’ but from his wealth, he has only three: 1 what he eats and consumes, what he wears and wears out, or what he gives and acquires. Beyond that, it departs, and he leaves it to others.”

Note 1
(1) His statement: “From his wealth, he has only three…”: The first mā is a relative pronoun, connected to “he has,” and “from his wealth” relates to the connection. “Three” is the predicate, feminized to imply benefits. At-Tayyibi said: The meaning is that what one gains from his wealth are three benefits in total, but only one is truly enduring, while the others are fleeting. (As stated in Al-Mirqat.)

(۱) قوله: وإن ما له من ماله ثلاث إلخ: «ما» الأولى موصولة، وله صلة، ومن ماله متعلق بالصلة، و«ثلاث» خبر، وإنما أنثه على تأويل المنافع، ذكره الطيبي رحمه الله، والمعنى أن الذي يحصل له من ماله ثلاث منافع في الجملة، لكن منفعة واحدة منها حقيقة باقية، والباقي منها صورية فانية. كذا في «المرقاة».
