No has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the wording mentioned. However, it has been narrated with other similar wordings.
Its meaning, according to scholars, is that his grave will be expanded for him to the distance between his grave and his birthplace, and a door to Paradise will be opened for him.
