Summary
Scholars regard this hadith as fabricated, and it does not originate from the Prophet SAW. Imam al-Shawkani relays al-Sanʻani's view that the narration is fabricated. For the longer version in al-Mustadrak, al-Hakim declared its chain authentic, but al-Dhahabi disagreed and judged it fabricated, noting among other reasons that the narrator ʻAmr bin Aus is unknown and reported denounced reports. Ibn Hajar al-ʻAsqalani supported al-Dhahabi's view.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
