“The angels asked, "O God! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than rocks?" God said, "Yes; iron is stronger than rocks, for it breaks them." The angels said, "O Lord! Is there anything of Your creation stornger than iron?" God said, "Yes; fire is stronger than iron, for itmelts it." And the angels said, O defender! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than fire?" God said, "Yes; water overcomes fire; it kills it and makes it cold." Then the angels said, "O Lord! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than water?" God said, "Yes; wind overcomes water: it agitates it and puts it in motion." They said, "O our cherisher! Is there anything in Your creation stronger than wind?" God said, "Yes, the children of Adam, giving alms; that is, those who give with their right hands and conceal if from their left, they overcome all."

Tirmizi, Tafsir, Muavvizatayn 2,
So is this hadith is in Tirmidhi? Or is it a report from the Bani Israeel? Or does it have some other source?

Furthermore, can anyone comment on its authenticity?
