What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Allah inspired to Dawud (peace be upon him): ‘Whoever returns to me a stray animal, I have recorded him with me as a noble one’”?

The questioner : Peace be upon you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : Abu Malik is speaking, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Welcome, Abu Malik. How are you?

The questioner : May Allah keep you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : How are you?

The questioner : May Allah bless you, may Allah...

The Shaykh : You are welcome.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, a brother named Aziz gave me a note, and I want to ask you about it: “Allah inspired to Dawud (peace be upon him): ‘Whoever returns to me a stray animal, I have recorded him with me as a noble one, so shall I not give him... shall I not torment him in the Fire?’” Is this reported, our Shaykh?

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : I mean, is it from the words of the religions before...

The Shaykh : This is from the Isra'iliyyat.

The questioner : It is from the Isra'iliyyat.

The Shaykh : And it is not a hadith.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, there is a brother who wants to ask a question, if you please.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
