The above hadith was reported by Abdurrazzaq in his musannaf (2/198), and in this version ibn Juarij reports it clearly without عنعنة:
عن ابن جريج قال أخبرني إبراهيم بن ميسرة أنه سمع عمرو بن الشريد يخبر عن النبي ﷺ أنه كان يقول في وضع الرجل شماله إذا جلس في الصلاة هي قعدة المغضوب عليهم.
"Ibn Juraij reported: Ibrahim ibn Maysarah informed me that he heard 'Amr ibn al-Shareed reporting from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that he used to say regarding the sitting of a man leaning on his left hand when sitting in prayer, "This is the sitting of those who incur wrath."
Note 1: This report is ascribed to 'Amr ibn Shareed (rather than Shareed), hence it is mursal!
Note 2: This report is specific to leaning on the left hand inside Salah!

The hadith has also come on the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him,
...عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَتَّكِئُ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ لاَ تَجْلِسْ هَكَذَا فَإِنَّ هَكَذَا يَجْلِسُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذَّبُونَ.‏
Ibn ‘Umar saw a man leaning on his left hand while he was sitting during prayer. He said to him: Do not sit like this, because those who are punished sit like this. [Reported by Abu Dawud, Ahmad and others]
This hadith is weak because:
1. Hisham ibn Sa'd Al-Madani is weak
2. The report is mawqoof to Ibn Umar
