Summary
The hadith has no source and is not found in the recognised hadith books. A similar divine hadith, that no one named Ahmad or Muhammad will enter hell, was judged fabricated by Al-Dhahabi because its chain contains unknown narrators and a liar. A person enters paradise through God's mercy by good deeds and following the Prophet's sunnah, not by name or lineage.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
