In the Quran

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًۭا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًۭا

مال اور بیٹے تو دنیا کی زندگی کی (رونق و) زینت ہیں۔ اور نیکیاں جو باقی رہنے والی ہیں وہ ثواب کے لحاظ سے تمہارے پروردگار کے ہاں بہت اچھی اور امید کے لحاظ سے بہت بہتر ہیں

Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. But the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better in respect of hope.
