Brief Explanation
Explanation: - The meaning is that, in the eyes of worldly people, everything is wealth and riches; they consider this to be lineage (hasab), whereas in reality, lineage (hasab) refers to those noble habits and morals that are passed down from generation to generation, even if wealth and riches are not present.
