Question

What is the authenticity of this narration?

“Through the piety of a person, Allah rectifies his children, his grandchildren, the people living in his home as well as the people living in the neighbouring homes. They all remain under the protection of Allah, as long as this person remains among them.”

 

Answer

Imams Nasai and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahumallah) have recorded this narration as the statement of Muhammad ibnul Munkadir (rahimahullah), a Tabi’i.

The narrators are all reliable.
