The answer

The aforementioned hadith is unknown and might be fabricated due to its contradiction with the Almighty's saying: "And every soul earns not [anything] except for itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another." Despite this, whoever falls short in raising and educating their children will be punished for their negligence, because Muslims are commanded to protect themselves and their families from the Fire, and they are commanded to pray and perform acts of obedience. As the Almighty says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire" and "And enjoin prayer upon your family and be steadfast therein." All believers are "some of them allies of others. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong."
