لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَنْفَعُ فِيهِ إِلَّا الدِّينَارُ وَالدِّرْهَمُ
Translation: A time will certainly come upon people when only the dinar and the dirham will be considered beneficial.

لَيَأْتِيَنَّ uses emphatic particles to stress the coming event. لَا يَنْفَعُ فِيهِ إِلَّا combines negation and exception to express restriction: “nothing will benefit except …”
الدِّينَارُ وَالدِّرْهَمُ names gold and silver currency and points to the dominance of material concerns. The warning is against a way of life that treats financial benefit as the only measure of value.
