What is the ruling on the addition of “they are in the precincts of Bayt al-Maqdis” to the hadith “A group from my Ummah will remain manifest upon the truth”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, some people repeat the hadith:
A group of people from my Umma will always remain triumphant on the right path لا تزال طائفة من أمَّتي ظاهرين على الحقِّ
Sahih Muslim 1920
up to the end of the hadith, where they ask the Companions - may Allah be pleased with them - about the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - and they add that the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - said:
that they are in the precincts of Bayt al-Maqdis أنَّهم في أكناف بيت المقدس
; is this correct?

The Shaykh : No, this addition is not authentic. Were you not sitting on the day when the Shaykh, what was his name?

The questioner : Al-Abaylan.

The Shaykh : No, al-Zanad, Zanad Abu al-Zanad, were you not there?

The questioner : No, I was not there.

The Shaykh : Yes, he spoke a word in which he praised the situation of the Muslims against the Jews in Palestine, and he mentioned hadiths, excuse me, he mentioned events, then he followed it with this hadith. So I told him that this hadith is authentic except for the addition:
the precincts of al-Maqdis أكناف المقدس
, which is a weak addition. Is the answer clear?

The questioner: Yes, may Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : And may He reward you.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, in al-Silsilah al-Sahihah.

The Shaykh : You are drunk.
