Hadith on staying awake on the nights of Eid

Q:

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : (مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَتَيْ الْعِيدَيْنِ مُحْتَسِبًا لِلَّهِ لَمْ يَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ رواه ابن ماجة

Is this Hadith correct? Can we attribute it to the Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?

A: This Hadith can be quoted.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
