The answer

This , in this exact wording, has not been found. Some of its phrases have been reported separately, and most of them are not without some discussion, being attributed to Ibn 'Abbas, 'Ali, or the Tabi'un (successors). Al-Tirmidhi and Abu Ya'la narrated a weak hadith from Anas, marfu'an (traced back to the Prophet): "There is no believer except that he has two doors: a door through which his deeds ascend, and a door through which his provision descends. When he dies, they both weep for him. That is the meaning of the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Exalted: {And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.}" Al-Tirmidhi said that it is a gharib (strange) and weak hadith.
