Do not look at who is saying, rather look at what is being said

Is the following a Hadith?

“Do not look at who is saying, rather look at what is being said”

Answer:

Mulla ‘Ali Al Qari (rahimahullah) states that these are the statements of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu). Therefore it should be quoted as such and not as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

(Al Masnu’ Fi Ma’rifatil Hadithil Mawdu’, Hadith: 397)

And Allah Ta’ala  Knows best.
