Praise be to Allah.
This hadeeth is fabricated, as was explained by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him), because Allah only created the jinn and mankind to worship Him alone with no partner or associate, and Adam (peace be upon him) is one of mankind. And Allah is the source of strength. End quote.
Majmoo’ Fatawa Ibn Baz (26/327)
Al-Bayhaqi said concerning it in Dalail al-Nubuwwah (5/489): It was narrated only by ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam, who is da’eef (weak). End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said concerning it in al-Tawassul (p.166):
It was narrated in marfoo’ (reports attributed directly to the Prophet) and mawqoof (not directly attributed to the prophet but rather the Companion) reports attributed to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), but (its isnad/chain of transmission) includes ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Aslam, who is da’eef according to their consensus and he makes many mistakes. End quote.
Al-Albani (and Allah have mercy on him) ruled that it is fabricated in al-Silsilah al-Da’eefah (25).
