Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : “I have greater wealth than you and I am stronger than you in numbers”
Ref: Surah Al-Kahf 18: 34
Arabic:
وَكَانَ لَهُۥ ثَمَرٌۭ فَقَالَ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًۭا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًۭا ٣٤
Translation:
And he had other resources1 ˹as well˺. So he boasted to a ˹poor˺ companion of his, while conversing with him, “I am greater than you in wealth and superior in manpower.”
