The answer

The that mentions "fifty scriptures were revealed to Seth" was narrated by Ibn Hibban with a chain of transmission that includes Ibrahim ibn Hisham, who is a fabricator of Hadith. Al-Zayla'i mentioned it in "Takhrij Ahadith al-Kashshaf" and stated that Al-Hakim, Al-Tabarani, Ahmad, and Ishaq narrated it through various chains, all of which contain weak narrators. Furthermore, Ibn al-Jawzi included it in "Al-Mawdu'at" (Fabricated Hadith). Therefore, the least that can be said about this Hadith is that it is weak.
