This hadith is false. Al-Dhahabi mentioned it in "Mizan al-I'tidal," and Ibn Hajar followed suit. Ibn Asakir narrated this hadith through the path of Muhammad bin Ibrahim al-Shami, who is accused of fabricating hadith. Abu al-Qasim al-Qazwini narrated it through the path of Sa'd bin Sa'id al-Jurjani, who is weak. The conclusion is that this hadith is false; it is not permissible to narrate it or use it as evidence. A Muslim should advise his brothers and be gentle with them in explaining the falsehood of this hadith.
