The answer

The hadith with the wording: "When one of you marries, his devil cries out, saying: 'Woe unto him! The son of Adam has safeguarded two-thirds of his religion from me,'" or with the wording: "Whichever young man marries in his early youth, his devil cries out: 'Woe unto him! Woe unto him! He has safeguarded his religion from me,'" is a weak and fabricated hadith. This is due to the presence of Khalid ibn Isma'il al-Makhzumi in its chain of narration, who is abandoned and accused of fabricating hadith.

However, there is another narration that Al-Albani graded as hasan (good), with the wording: "Whoever marries has completed half of his Iman (faith), so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half."
