This statement is not an authentic , but its meanings are good. If it is mentioned as an admonition and not as a Hadith, there is no harm in that. A part of it has been mentioned in the words of verifying scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim, and there is no objection to reminding people of it, provided it is clarified that it is not authentic as a Hadith.
