The answer

The mentioned hadith was narrated with multiple wordings, some of which are fabricated (mawdu‘) and some are weak (da‘if). Among them are: "Whoever harms a dhimmi has harmed me," and "Whoever harms a dhimmi, I am his adversary, and whoever I am his adversary, I will dispute with him on the Day of Resurrection." Al-Albani graded this hadith as weak. However, there are authentic hadiths with a similar meaning, such as: "Beware, if anyone wrongs a Mu‘ahid (person who has a covenant with Muslims), or diminishes his right, or burdens him beyond his capacity, or takes anything from him without his consent, then I shall be his adversary on the Day of Judgment." Its chain of narration is acceptable.
