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”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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:
Whoever is hungry or in need and conceals it مَن جاع أو احتاج فكتمه
He is a scribe, so he concealed it from the people out of haste
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 فكتمه عن الناس وأفضى به إلى الله تعالى كان حقًّا على الله أن يفتح له قوت سنة من حلال
. 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.
