The Holy Quran 60:3 — Surah Al-Mumtahanah

Arabic text

لَن تَنفَعَكُمْ أَرْحَامُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ ۚ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

Translation

(If you befriend them for the sake of your relatives or children, then remember that) Neither your (blood) relatives nor your children will help you (against Allaah's punishment) on the Day of Qiyaamah. (On the Day of Qiyaamah) you will be separated. (Those destined for Jahannam will be separated from those destined for Jannah and each group will go their way). Allaah is Watchful over what you do (so be careful of what you do).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

In the Hereafter children and family will be of no use: that is, Hatib ﵁ had written that letter for the sake of his family. On this [Allah] warned that children and relatives will be of no use on the Day of Resurrection.
