The Hadith: 'Whenever the deeds of a people become corrupt, they decorate their Masjids'

Q 1: In the book entitled: “Iqtida’ Al-Sirat Al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ashab Al-Jahim (Following the Straight Path)” p. 296, there is a Hadith which states: “Whenever the deeds of a people become corrupt, they decorate their Masjids (mosques).” What is the authenticity of this Hadith?
