Summary
This hadith has no known origin and is classified as fabricated. A similar narration about the effects of missing each prayer, such as loss of light on the face and blessing in sustenance, is also absent from reliable hadith books and is ruled fabricated. Spreading both is forbidden except to point out that they are false, because attributing to the Prophet SAW something he did not say is a major sin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Riwayat ini tidak diketahui asalnya dan ia adalah palsu. Justeru itu, haram bagi kita untuk menyebarkannya melainkan untuk menyatakan akan kepalsuannya.
