What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on one of his journeys and ordered a sheep to be prepared. A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I will slaughter it,' and another said, 'I will skin it,' and another said, 'I will cook it.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, '(And I will gather the firewood).' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we will spare you?' He said, 'I know that you would spare me, but I dislike to be distinguished from you, for Allah dislikes His servant to be seen as distinguished among his companions.' And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood and gathered the firewood"? And is it permissible to narrate it?

This has no known chain of transmission from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so it has no origin. That which has no origin is not permissible to narrate or attribute to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
