The answer

This hadith was not found in the books of Sunnah, and it appears to have no basis. There is a similar hadith in meaning about the virtue of the cemeteries of Mecca and Medina (Al-Hajun and Al-Baqi'), and that they "will be taken by their corners and scattered in Paradise." It was said about this hadith, "no origin is known for it," and it was mentioned among the fabricated hadiths.
