We learn here that wealth in and of itself is not something to look down upon. Rather, it is when this love for wealth and its accumulation becomes a reason and distancing us from our Lord and His worship.
Love for some lies the test of financial difficulties for others, the test is quite the opposite, and perhaps harder to detect when it's the test of wealth.

Everything that you spend will be lost except that which you spend for the sake of Allah.
