What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever is hungry or in need and conceals it from the people and confides it to Allah the Exalted, it is a right upon Allah to open for him a year’s sustenance from lawful means”?

The Shaykh : Now, here is a question about a hadith from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is a scribe, so he concealed it from the people out of haste . The question is about the authenticity of the hadith?
Answer: The hadith is either weak or fabricated, and at this moment I am unable to give a definitive answer: is it weak or fabricated? As for it being authentic or good, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Perhaps in the next lesson, if Allah wills, I will present the clear, definitive answer.
Whoever is hungry or in need and conceals it
مَن جاع أو احتاج فكتمهand conceals it from the people and confides it to Allah the Exalted, it is a right upon Allah to open for him a year’s sustenance from lawful means
فكتمه عن الناس وأفضى به إلى الله تعالى كان حقًّا على الله أن يفتح له قوت سنة من حلالAnswer: The hadith is either weak or fabricated, and at this moment I am unable to give a definitive answer: is it weak or fabricated? As for it being authentic or good, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Perhaps in the next lesson, if Allah wills, I will present the clear, definitive answer.
