O man! When death comes to you, you will neither be able to welcome anyone, nor will you be able to meet anyone. You will not be able to speak to any person. You shall be called but will not be able to reply. Certainly, cities have become desolate in your right. Your eyes are wide open. Your soul has flown away. Your children are at the mercy of others."^[1]

Wealth of inheritance is a source of admonition, not a means of enjoyment

Sayyidunā ꜤUmar b. ꜤAbd al-ꜤAzīz رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said in his final sermon:

O people! The wealth you possess was left behind by those who have passed away. In the end, you too will leave it here. Do you not know that every morning or evening, you walk behind the funeral of someone departing from this world? You lower them in the pit of the grave where there is neither bedding nor a pillow. The one departing leaves all his possessions here. Having separated from friends and loved ones, he makes the earth his dwelling, faces accountability, becomes dependent on what he sent ahead and independent from what he left behind.

Then, Sayyidunā Umar b. ꜤAbd al-ꜤAzīz رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه placed a cloth over his eyes and began to weep, descending from the pulpit.^[2]

Stopped the construction of the house

O devotees of the Prophet! It is a reality that wealth obtained through inheritance is not a provision for luxuries and pleasures; rather, it is a source of lesson and admonition.
