To what extent is the following Hadith Qudsi authentic: "O Moses, five words: if you act upon them, all knowledge will benefit you, but if you do not act upon them, nothing of knowledge will benefit you. O Moses, be confident of a guaranteed sustenance for you as long as My treasuries are full and never depleted. O Moses, do not look at the fault of another as long as there is a fault in you, and a person is never free of fault. O Moses, do not cease fighting Satan as long as your soul is in your body, for he will never cease fighting you. O Moses, do not fear one with authority as long as My authority remains, and My authority remains and never ceases. O Moses, do not feel secure from My plotting until you see yourself in Paradise, for in Paradise, what befell Adam befell him, so do not feel secure from My plotting"?
This hadith has no basis in the recognized books of Sunnah, and it is most likely from the Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian traditions). The Qur’an and authentic Sunnah are sufficient. One must be cautious of attributing to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, what he did not say, for he said: "Whoever intentionally fabricates a lie against me, let him take his seat in Hellfire," and "Whoever narrates a hadith from me, deeming it to be a lie, then he is one of the two liars."
