Did the phrase (and we seek His guidance) appear in the Sermon of Need, and what is the authenticity of the hadith in which it was mentioned?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Did the phrase "and we seek His guidance" appear in the Sermon of Need, since we hear some people saying it? And what is the authenticity of the hadith in which it was mentioned:
None of you is a believer till his desire follows what I have brought لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعا لما جئت به
Mishkat al-Masabih 167Isnād Da'īf (Zubair `Aliza'i)
?

The Shaykh : These are two questions in one, and this is a clever way of asking. Our rule is that we do not accept more than one question. Do you think we should accept both questions or limit ourselves to one?
The student: Two questions.

The Shaykh : Two questions, on the condition that you do not do that again.
As for the first part, "and we seek His guidance," it also did not appear; it did not appear in this sermon. But some people take liberties, saying "and we seek His guidance" and saying, "Whoever Allah guides, no one can mislead, and whoever He misleads, you will not find for him a guiding protector." They deviate from His saying, "And whoever He misleads, there is no guide for him." This is a modification by some people, and the matter in this, as I think, is broad.
As for the hadith he referred to, which is the second part of the question, or rather the second question: it is a weak hadith.
None of you is a believer till his desire follows what I have brought لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعا لما جئت به
Mishkat al-Masabih 167Isnād Da'īf (Zubair `Aliza'i)
It is a weak hadith, but some scholars graded it as good. In reality, in terms of meaning, it is correct, because if a person's inclination does not follow what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) brought, his faith is deficient without a doubt.
