When Allah Ta’ala intends good for a person, He makes his heart an admonisher

Could you mention the reference for this narration?

إذا أراد الله تعالى بعبد خيرا جعل له واعظا من قلبه يأمره وينهاه

Answer:

Imams Ahmad and Abu Nu’aym (rahimahumallah) have recorded this as the statement of Imam Muhammad ibn Sirin (rahimahullah).

(Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Ahmad: 1768, Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 2 pg. 264)

When Allah Ta’ala intends good for a person, He makes his heart an admonisher/adviser, to command and prohibit him.
