The Prophet (pbuh) said: "The wickedest of people is he who harasses his family." The companions (pbut) then asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt) how does a man harass his family?" He (pbuh) replied: "When he comes home, his wife humbles herself and his children run away, but when he leaves the house, his wife smiles and his family feel at ease." From Hadith Majma' al-Zawaa'id
How do I know if this hadith and quote are authentic, is there such a narration in Bukhari or Muslim?
Re: How do I know if a hadith is authentic or not?
There is also an alternative translation of this hadeeth, as follows:
Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah said:
“The worst man is the one who depresses his family” They asked ‘O Rasool Allah! How does a man depress his family?’ He (saw) answered “When that kind of man enters his house, his wife becomes humbled, his child runs away, and his servant hides away. However when he leaves the house, his wife laughs and his family becomes cheerful and gathers together” (at-Tabaraani, al-Mu'jam al-Awsat vol 8 p337, hadith no 8798)

No. The collection you mentioned, Majma al-Zawaa'id does not include ahadeeth from Bukhari and Muslim, but from Musnad Ahmad, three of at-Tabarani's collections, and some from other collections.
I have not been able to find any information on whether it is sahih, da'eef etc.
And Allah knows best in all matters.

Stunningly beautiful adhaan from the Dome of the Rock in Masjid ul Aqsa Download (right click and choose "save target/link as").
This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that those of understanding may take heed (14:52)
Indeed Allah knows, and you know not (16: 74, part)
