Does the status of a tribe rise because of a righteous man among them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We inferred from this hadith that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, elevates a man slightly. The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) states: "Whoever cuts off his work, he will not be helped to a path."

The Shaykh : It is authentic. Lineage does not benefit a person, but his work and his elevation became an honor for his people, like him,

The questioner : in the eyes of the people. Honor is in the eyes of the people.

The Shaykh : Perhaps Allah guides one of his tribe through his hand, and he is elevated in the sight of Allah.
