10:58

 قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

 

qul bifaḍli l-lahi wabiraḥmatihi fabidhālika falyafraḥū huwa khayrun mimmā yajmaʿūna

 

The Aya says:

Say (O Muhammad): by Allah’s abundance and by his Grace, so by this let them rejoice.  This is better than what they hoard.

 

My personal note:

The Aya continues the subject from the previous one.  It explains that the advice, wisdom, healing and grace.  All those are great gifts from Allah to us as humans and they are much better for us than hoarding or gathering material wealth.

 

It should be noted that the Aya should not be understood as to ask us not be wealthy but to look at wealth as a tool towards Allah rather than a goal themselves.
