This narration was mentioned by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani in his book Maqatil al-Talibiyyin, and no one else mentioned it with this chain of transmission or any other. No scholar has judged it as authentic or weak. One must be cautious of what Abu Faraj al-Isfahani narrates, as Ibn Taymiyyah weakened him and accused him regarding his transmissions.
