Man Fleeing From His Loved Ones:

On that day, there could be two reasons for a person to flee from his loved ones and relatives. One is that every person will be afflicted with severe distress; he will wish to call upon his loved ones and relatives for help, but they too will be caught up in their own troubles. They will fear that, since we ourselves are in distress, he might call us for help, so everyone will try to keep away from each other. The second reason especially relates to the criminals. They will distance themselves from their loved ones and relatives because, in the world, they used to help each other in sinful deeds. lest one criminal accuse the other, saying, "You were the cause of my misguidance." Therefore, every close one will try to stay away from the other.
