Leadership of believers versus wealth for the wicked

316. Amīr al-mu’minim, peace be upon him, said: I am the ya‘sūb (leader) of the believers, while wealth is the leader of the wicked.

as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: It means that the believers follow me while the wicked follow wealth just as the bees follow their “ya‘sūb” who is their leader. [1]
