[ ترمذي 2505]
Shaykh al-Albani has declared this hadith to be fabricated (mawdu‘) and has mentioned several hadith scholars who have also called it fabricated; therefore, there is no validity to al-Tirmidhi’s grading of it as hasan. See: [سلسله الاحاديث الضعيفه 178]
Among its narrators is Muhammad ibn Hasan ibn Abi Yazid al-Hamdani, whom Abu Dawud and Ibn Ma‘in have declared a liar (kadhdhab). Some individuals have said that al-Tirmidhi graded it hasan due to its supporting narrations (shawahid), but the reality is that there is no supporting narration in which it is stated that the one who shames another for a sin will certainly commit that sin before dying.
Benefits:
It is necessary to avoid narrating fabricated hadiths:
There is no doubt that it is forbidden to shame a Muslim for his sin, especially when he has repented; however, the claim that whoever shames another will certainly commit that sin before dying is, from the perspective of its chain of transmission, completely unreliable and, in fact, is a fabrication attributed to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and it is also contrary to reality. Therefore, such narrations should not be narrated, except to clarify their actual status, as Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has explicitly stated that its chain is disconnected (munqati‘).

Commentary:
Note:
(Khalid bin Ma'dan did not hear from Mu'adh radi Allahu anhu,
and the greatest reason for this is that Muhammad bin Hasan, the narrator, is a liar (kadhdhab),
it is he who must have fabricated this hadith, but he could not make the chain connected.)
