Summary
This narration is fabricated, as it is not found in any reliable hadith collection, nor even in compilations of weak hadith. Its wording appears only in Malay and circulates on social media and blogs to encourage wives to serve their husbands. A good aim does not justify a wrong means, and spreading fabricated hadith is a sin. Encouragement for wives to treat their husbands well can be based on authentic hadith, and a wife who cooks for her family still earns reward from Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
