Answer:
Imams Daylami, Ibn ‘Adiy and Hafiz Khatib Baghdadi (rahimahumullah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Al Kamil, Hadith: 12058, Tarikh Baghdad, vol. 14 pg. 93 and Al-Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 10)
However, The chain consists of an extremely weak narrator.
