Al-Ma'arij 70:8–10
Like wool
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ٨ وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٩ وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا ١٠
The meaning, simply
On that Day the sky will be like murky oil, and the mountains like fluffed-up coloured wool, and no close friend will ask about his friend, because everyone is busy with himself.
