The closeness of the man's relatives and kinship.
ذَوِيِ — relatives of. A possessor-word meaning 'those belonging to / kinsfolk of', which by its nature cannot stand alone — it must be completed by a following noun. It is the owned middle of a chain (owned by 'closeness', owner of 'the man'), so it carries the genitive ending and demands the noun after it to finish the sense.
