The answer

We have not found anyone who has spoken about the authenticity of this narration (athar) or its lack thereof. Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned it with a wording that implies its lack of authenticity, stating "it was narrated." Al-'Ajlouni mentioned it in 'Kashf al-Khafa'' but did not make any judgment about it. Al-Alusi mentioned it in 'Ruh al-Ma'ani' as part of a sacred (hadith qudsi). Al-Bayhaqi mentioned it in 'Shu'ab al-Iman' attributed to a divine revelation from Allah to David (peace be upon him).
