Explanation
When a human being dies, those who escort him follow his bier. His relatives accompany him to the cemetery. How astonishing, how paltry, how lowly this worldly life is! The very people who love you most are the ones who undertake your burial: they inter you and remove you from their midst, and even if they were paid to keep your body among them, they would refuse. Those closest to you—who hold you dearest—are the ones who carry out your burial; they follow you and see you off.

His wealth follows him as well—that is, his slaves and household servants. The ḥadith portrays a wealthy man who owns servants; they come after him, and his deeds also accompany him.
