What is the authenticity of the hadith (Choose from your semen)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Choose from your semen تخيَّروا من نطفكم
Is the hadith authentic?

The Shaykh : This hadith is not narrated in this abbreviated form; rather, it has a continuation in most narrations: "for the semen is a deceiver." That is the continuation.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh:
For the semen is a deceiver فإنَّ العرق دسَّاس
The first phrase of this hadith:
Choose for your semen تخيَّروا لنطفكم
The hadith is hasan (good) when all its chains are combined. As for the addition:
For the semen is a deceiver فإنَّ العرق دسَّاس
it is not authentic, because it was not strengthened by the combination of its chains. Yes...

The questioner : The same as my Shaykh's [narration] which contained
The woman giving birth to her father and her brother المرأة أن تلدَ أباها وأخاها
.

The Shaykh : I do not remember if it contained this, in any case, this is not correct. Yes...

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
