What is the authenticity of the hadith narrated in "Majma‘ al-Zawa’id wa Manba‘ al-Fawa’id" on the authority of Jabir, in the exegesis of the verse: "When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest, and you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes, then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask His forgiveness. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance," which mentions that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said upon its revelation: "O Gabriel, my soul has been announced [its impending death]," and Gabriel replied to him: "And the Hereafter is better for you than the First [life], and your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied," then he commanded Bilal to call for the congregational prayer, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered an eloquent sermon in which he asked: "O people! What kind of prophet was I to you?"
The aforementioned hadith is fabricated and موضوع (forged), and it contains Abd al-Mun'im ibn Idris, who is a liar and a وضّاع (forger of hadith). The hadith includes invalid matters, among them unverified details about the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the story of Ukasha, which has a similar account about Usaid ibn Hudair with an authentic chain of narration. It also contains objectionable phrases such as: "Indeed, the first to pray upon me is the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, from above His Throne," and "O Gabriel! How bitter is death," which suggests discontent and anxiety from the Prophet, and "So we glorified with Gabriel's glorification, and we prayed upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with Gabriel's prayer," which are matters that have no basis.
