The aforementioned is very weak. It was narrated by Ibn al-Najjar in "Al-Durrah Al-Thaminah" with an (chain of narration) that includes Muhammad ibn al- ibn Zabalah (whom Ibn Hajar accused of lying), and Hakam Abu Abdullah Al-Shami and Abu Abd al-Malik (who are unknown). Furthermore, the strangeness and reprehensibility of its text, and its absence from the well-known Islamic collections, indicate its lack of authenticity.
