Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 60:3

Open in Qurani

Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. He will judge between you. And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do. means, `your family relations will not benefit you with Allah if Allah decided to cause harm your way. Your relations will not benefit you if you please them with what angers Allah.' Those who agree with their family being disbelievers in order to please them will have earned loss and failure and their deeds will be rendered invalid. Their relation will not benefit them with Allah, even if their relation was with a Prophet. Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said that a man said, "O Allah's Messenger! Where is my father'' He said,

في النار

In the Fire. When the man went away, the Prophet called him back and said:

إن أبي وأباك في النار

Verily, my father and your father are in the Fire. Muslim and Abu Dawud also collected this Hadith
