Is the hadith authentic that whoever drank the Prophet's urine is protected from Hellfire?

The hadith is weak (daif). Its narrator, Hukaymah bint Umaymah, is unknown (majhul), and only Ibn Hibban considered her trustworthy, though he was known to be lenient in rating unknown narrators.

Summary
The hadith is weak (daif). Its narrator, Hukaymah bint Umaymah, is unknown (majhul), and only Ibn Hibban considered her trustworthy, though he was known to be lenient in rating unknown narrators. Her narrations also conflict, as one names Barrah, the servant of Umm Salamah, as the one who drank it, while another names Barakah, the servant of Umm Habibah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berbalik kepada persoalan yang diajukan, status hadis ini adalah da'if kerana Hukamah binti Umaymah seorang yang majhul.
