The answer

The aforementioned , quoted from the book (Al-Mahdi Al-Muntathar 'ala Al-Abwab), lacks a chain of transmission (sanad) and a narrator (rawi). It does not mention from which hadith collections it was taken. It is improbable that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) would have narrated this lengthy hadith without it being mentioned by any of the hadith narrators. Signs of fabrication and artificiality are apparent in the hadith. It is not possible to judge it as authentic, weak, or fabricated until its chain of transmission and narrators are examined. It is not permissible for anyone to narrate it as an authentic hadith until this is verified.
