وَلْيَخْشَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَوْ تَرَكُواْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّةً ضِعَافاً خَافُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلْيَتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلْيَقُولُواْ قَوْلاً سَدِيداً

He explained in this verse that which the Muslim should hold on to for his dependents is not wealth, but God-fearingness and righteousness because He did not say, 'So let them gather their wealth, let them multiply real estate for them, and let them leave behind the household goods. Rather, He said: let them fear God for He cares for the righteous.
