(Al-Baqara) 2 : 166
إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوا وَرَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَسْبَابُ
When those who have been followed are freed from those who have been following, and they would see the punishment, and all their relations between them would be cut off.
