This statement is false and reprehensible, having no basis whatsoever. It is impermissible to narrate it except with the intention of refuting it, because it pertains to the unseen, which can only be known through infallible revelation. Nothing of the sort has been reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
