The mentioned has a weak chain of narration () because it contains an unknown narrator and another who had a weak memory. As for the phrase "بدا لله" (bada li-Llah - it appeared to Allah), its meaning is objectionable and unfitting for Allah. The correct phrase is "بدأ الله" (bada'a Allah - Allah originated/began), meaning Allah legislated or ordained.
