The answer

The aforementioned hadith is false and fabricated, and it is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or to disseminate it except to clarify its falsehood. It has been narrated through weak chains containing mendacious, unknown, and abandoned narrators. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah stated that all its chains are weak and cannot be used as evidence, and that the scholars of transmission unanimously agree that none of them can be used as evidence.
