Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says: (On the Day of Resurrection) And no close friend will ask a friend (about his condition). Though they shall be made to see one an another. The guilty man will long to be able to ransom himself from the Punishment of that Day at the price of his children, And his spouse, and his brother, And his kinsfolk whoever sheltered him. And all that the earth contains; so that it might save him. But never! (Al-Ma'arij 70: 10-15)
