Context & meaning
One sentence, naming three things to be blessed: the person addressed, that person's family, and their wealth. The order widens outward from the individual. Allah is spoken about rather than addressed, so the words are directed at the giver rather than upward. Nothing is asked for the speaker, and the wealth just shared is folded into what is blessed.
When & how to recite
Nasa'i records these words, said to someone who offers a share of his wealth.
Reflection
The wealth that prompted the supplication is the last of the three things named. What comes before it — the person, then the family — is not what was offered.
