أَخْبَرَنَا هِبَةُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الدَّقَّاقُ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْفَرَجِ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ السِّنْدِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْمَقْدِسِيُّ، ثنا الْمُوَقَّرِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ

Answer

His full name is:

 الوليد بن محمد المُوَقَّري مولى بني أمية

He has been declared extremely weak (Matruk) by the Hadith masters, even more so when his student (mentioned in the chain in question): Abu Tahir Al-Maqdisi reports from him.
