The answer

This is weak and fabricated (mawdu'), and it is not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It has been reported with very weak chains of narration (asanid), among which are those containing "Al-Nadr ibn Humayd," who is abandoned in Hadith, and those containing "Abd al-Aziz ibn Ubayd Allah," who is weak in Hadith, and those containing "Addi ibn al-Fadl," who is not trustworthy and abandoned in Hadith. It was also reported as mursal (missing the Companion in the chain) and weak. Al-Shawkani stated that it is fabricated (mawdu'), and Al-Albani described it as very weak.
