What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Your fasting is on the day you fast, your breaking of the fast is on the day you break it, and your sacrifice is on the day you sacrifice”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: There is a hadith in it, I think... :
The end of Ramadan is on the day when you end it, and the 'Id (festival) of sacrifice is on the day when you sacrifice صومكم يوم تصومون ، وفطركم يوم تفطرون ، وأضحاكم يوم تضحون
Sunan Abi Dawud 2324Sahih (Al-Albani)
, is it authentic?

The Shaykh: No, it is not authentic, but the authentic one is, there is no god but Allah,
Your fasting is on the day the people fast, and your breaking of the fast is on the day the people break their fast. صومكم يوم يصوم الناس ، وفطركم يوم يفطر الناس
.

The questioner : ... Is this authentic?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : ... Who narrated it?

The Shaykh : ... I do not remember now who narrated it, but this is an authentic hadith... .

The questioner : ... And the other one is fabricated or weak or?

The Shaykh : It has no basis.

The questioner : ... Does it have no basis?

The Shaykh: Yes, indeed, even "Al-Wa'i al-Islami" magazine... in the last few months, it has started dedicating a special section to weak and fabricated hadiths under the title: "Not a Hadith," under the heading: "Not a Hadith," this title... on its side:
The day of your fasting is the day of your sacrifice يوم صومكم يوم نحركم
, and it is struck through, a term meaning that this is not authentic, under this heading they cite many common hadiths that are either weak or have no basis, and they rely on my book "Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah wa al-Mawdu'ah" (The Chain of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths), and they quote the summary of our words, and although we do not know the reason, they do not mention at all that they... are from the book "Al-Silsilah."
So the point is that this specific hadith was included in the corner, and in every issue they mention it with a strike-through on the hadith; indicating that this famous hadith is not a hadith.
