Commentary
Slave of wealth or worship of wealth means getting so much engrossed in its quest and love and avarice as to be forgetful of Allāh's bounds of the prohibited and the permissible, as if his only vocation is to amass Dīnārs and Dirham and serve them like deities. Such a person shall certainly be deprived and removed from Allāh's blessing and mercy.
