The aforementioned was not found in Al-Mundhiri's book "At-Targhib". Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah stated that this hadith is from the Israʼiliyyat (Jewish traditions). A similar wording was narrated in Ibn Kathir, and Sheikh Haqqi and Al-Abshīhī mentioned it in "Al-Mustatraf" quoting Ka'b Al-Ahbar, stating that it is from the Torah.
