Is there an origin for the hadith, "Delay them to where Allah has delayed them," or not?

This wording has no basis as being authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, but it has been authentically narrated from Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him. The Hanafis have used it as evidence for the impermissibility of a woman standing beside the Imam and the invalidity of the Imam's prayer. However, the preponderant view is that of the majority scholars, which affirms the validity of the prayer in this situation.
