What is the authenticity of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (There is no wudu for one who does not mention the name of Allah over it)

The questioner: Your honorable fatherly eminence (may Allah preserve you), what is the authenticity of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani) And what are the implications of this? Please clarify, and may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani) This is a hadith regarding which the opinions of hadith scholars have differed, both in the past and in recent times. The view to which my soul has found peace and my chest has opened is that the hadith, in the aggregate of its chains, is an authentic and established hadith. Therefore, al-Hafiz Ibn Abi Shaybah, the author of the book known as "al-Musannaf," explicitly stated: "It is established with us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani) This is supported by the fact that this phrase is the completion of a hadith whose wording is: Sunan Ibn Majah 398Hasan (Darussalam). Just as the first phrase means that prayer is not valid except with wudu, so too is wudu not valid except with the mention of the name. And this, as I recall, is what Imam Ahmad held: that the mention of the name in wudu is a condition for the validity of wudu. The least that can be said on this occasion is that the most cautious course is for the one performing wudu to habitually mention the name constantly and forever; at the very least—as we said—to guard against the existing disagreement among scholars, first regarding the authenticity of the hadith, and second regarding this ruling; because some of them say that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. So the precaution is to mention Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) over one's wudu, and to make it a constant habit until it becomes a natural disposition, though it is an act of worship.
This is what I have.
the ablution of a person who does not mention the name of Allah is valid
لا وضوءَ لِمَن لم يذكر اسم الله عليهThe Shaykh: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
the ablution of a person who does not mention the name of Allah is valid
لا وضوءَ لِمَن لم يذكر اسم الله عليهthe ablution of a person who does not mention the name of Allah is valid
لا وضوءَ لِمَن لم يذكر اسم الله عليهThere is no prayer for one who does not have ablution, and there is no ablution for one who does not mention the Name of Allah (before it).
لا صلاةَ لِمَن لا وضوء له ، ولا وضوءَ لِمَن لم يذكر اسم الله عليهThis is what I have.
