Qur'an 82:19 Al-Infitar

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ

It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.

Saheeh International

What it says

The answer to the doubled question, and it is a single statement about ownership. No soul holds anything on behalf of another soul. Family, rank, money and patronage are all arrangements where one person holds something for another, and none of them is in force.
