In Surah al-Kahf verse 82 Allah the Most High says mentioning the two orphans:
وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحًا
And their father was a Saalih (pious man)
Showing us that being righteous does not just benefit you but even your entire family.
But that is not the amazing thing, the amazing thing is that the father mentioned in the verse is actually their seventh grandfather up in lineage!
al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer writes in his famous tafseer of the Qur’aan:
In this verse there is evidence that the pious persons offspring is looked after, and the blessings from his worship will reach them in this dunya aswell as the aakhirah due to his intercession for them and by elevating their ranks in Jannah so that they may become a coolness to his eyes as has been mentioned in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.
And it has already been mentioned that the father mentioned in the verse is actually their seventh grandfather.
