This hadith is a Munkar (denounced) hadith, it is not authentic and has not been proven to be from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. In many previous years, the fifteenth of Ramadan has fallen on a Friday without the occurrence of what is mentioned in it. Scholars have judged it to be fabricated and a lie, among them Al-Uqayli, Ibn Al-Jawzi, Ibn Al-Qayyim, Al-Albani, and Ibn Baz, and they mentioned it among the fabricated and weak hadiths.
