What is the authenticity of this hadith: "Whoever performs Hajj and does not visit me has wronged me"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
What is the authenticity of the hadith that says:
Whoever performs Hajj and does not visit me has wronged me من حج ولم يزرني فقد جفاني
?

The Shaykh : Yes.
The hadith narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever performs Hajj and does not visit me has wronged me من حج فلم يزرني فقد جفاني
is a fabricated hadith, falsely attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
First: Visiting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not possible after his death, because he says:
does not visit me لم يزرني
So how can one visit the Messenger when he is buried? Therefore, if visiting is established, it is for the grave.
The second point is that if this hadith were authentic, leaving off the visit after Hajj would be disbelief that expels one from the religion, because wronging the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is apostasy that expels one from Islam.
So this hadith is fabricated and falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Place it under your shoe. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Until your turn comes. Okay, please go ahead.
