The ruling on the hadith: "Whoever disobeys me while knowing me, I will send upon him one who does not know me"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This person is asking about the hadith: "Whoever disobeys me while knowing me, I will send upon him one who does not know me." Is it an authentic qudsi hadith?

Answer:
It is narrated, and al-Waqi' mentions it. But I do not know that it is a sound hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Yes, and its meaning may be correct. Its meaning may be correct that Allah may send the disbelievers upon the Muslims until the Muslims fall short in the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and disobey His command, so that He sends the disbelievers upon them, just as happened in the Battle of Uhud with the best of the successors when some of them disobeyed the line of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in jihad.
And the position was: "Do not leave the mountain, whether we are victorious or defeated." So when they disobeyed the Messenger and descended from the mountain, the punishment befell the best of creation, and they were the Companions, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was affected by some of it.
He was wounded (peace and blessings be upon him), his front tooth was broken, and he fell into a pit because of the disobedience of some of the Companions in the battle.
Did Allah send the disbelievers, the worshippers of idols, upon the Companions of the Messenger of Allah because of one act of disobedience? Perhaps Allah sends one who does not know him upon one who knows him if the one who knows Him disobeys Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
