Summary
The hadith has no known origin in the hadith books, as its text and narrators are unknown. The ruling also explains that Allah dislikes those who say what they do not practise, based on Surah al-Saff verses 2 and 3. Speech should be accompanied by action, and the deeds most beloved to Allah are those done consistently, even if small.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
