How authentic are these two hadiths: (May Allah bless the smooth-skinned woman); and the hadith: (You are in an age in which whoever leaves off a tenth of his religion is destroyed)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a hadith whose authenticity we do not know, which says:
May Allah bless the smooth-skinned woman بارك الله في المرأة الملساء
; what is your opinion? And there is also a hadith:
You are in an age in which whoever leaves off a tenth of his religion is destroyed, and an age will come in which whoever upholds a tenth of his religion has lived إنَّكم في زمان مَن ترك عشرًا لدينه هلكْنَ ، وسيأتي زمان من أقام عشرًا لدينه فقد حيا
; what is its source? Is it authentic or not?

The Shaykh : As for the first hadith:
May Allah bless the smooth-skinned woman بارك الله في المرأة الملساء
This is the creation of Allah, as we mentioned earlier. This is countered by some fabricated hadiths that disparage a type of people, such as the Black people, for example:
Beware of the Black people إياكم والزنج
, and they describe them with traits by which Black people are not distinguished from White people, for example; it is possible that among White people there are those with these bad traits, just as it is possible that the same is found among Black people. Therefore, a person being smooth or hairy, being white in complexion or black in complexion, is exactly like being tall or short; he is not praised or disparaged for any of that. Especially since the issue is relative, as I mentioned in some gatherings that we look at Black people with disdain for the blackness of their bodies, and then, on the contrary, Black people look at White people with the same look! And there is a known phrase there; they call them "these lepers," meaning lepers. These are relative issues, and it is impossible for complete Islam to link praise or blame to something that a person does not possess. Rather, praise and blame, reward and punishment, are for what issues from this accountable person, whether he is white or black, smooth or hairy.

The questioner : The other hadith?

The Shaykh : And what is it?

The questioner :
You are in an age إنَّكم في زمان
.

The Shaykh : Yes, as for the hadith:
You are in a time when whoever abandons a tenth of what he has been ordered, then he is ruined. أنتم في زمان مَن ترك فيه عشر ما أُمِرَ به هلك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2267Hasan (Darussalam)
to the end of the hadith; this is a hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi with a weak chain of narration, and some of them narrated it with another wording that does not come to my mind now, and it is perhaps traced in "Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah."
Other than that?
