Is the following Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“O Fatimah! When I wished to get you married to ‘Ali, Allah ordered Jibril and all the Angels stood in rows. Jibril then addressed them and married you to ‘Ali”

Answer:

‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) has declared this Hadith a fabrication. The Hadith is not suitable to quote.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
