Is the Hadith Qudsi authentic that mentions Moses passing by the grave of a man who was tormented in the morning and comforted in the evening, and that Allah revealed to Moses that He was ashamed to punish His servant while his son was seeking forgiveness for him?

The circulated story about Jesus, peace be upon him, passing by a tormented grave, and then the condition of the deceased changing to one of mercy because his child learned "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) has no basis. Rather, it is among the Isra'iliyyat (tales of Jewish origin) that some exegetes mention without a chain of narration. A Marfu' (elevated) Hadith with the same meaning has been narrated, but it is fabricated and a lie.
