The is what has been attributed to the Prophet in terms of speech, action, approval, or a physical or moral description. What was mentioned in the question is not a Hadith, because it is not attributed to the Prophet. Rather, it is a statement attributed to Ka'b al-Ahbar, who was one of the Tabi'un (Successors) scholars and narrated from the books of the People of the Book. It is not authentically established from Ka'b, because its chain of transmission includes Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, who is weak.
