Summary
Most scholars, including al-Suyuti, al-Zarkasyi, al-Sakhawi and al-Karami, judged the wording of this hadith to be fabricated, and it does not appear in any reliable hadith collection. Mulla Ali al-Qari said the wording is fabricated even though he regarded its meaning as sound, but this does not permit attributing a fabricated wording to the Prophet. Egypt still has virtues established in authentic hadith, such as the narration in Muslim from Abu Dharr instructing good treatment of its people.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, lafaz hadis yang disebutkan adalah lafaz yang palsu dan tidak boleh dinisbahkan sama sekali kepada Nabi SAW.
