What is the reference for this narration?

إذا أديت زكاة مالك فقد أذهبت عنك شره

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“When you have discharged your zakah, then you have warded away its evil” [i.e. the wealth will be protected, he will receive barakah, spend it in avenues of good and it will not be transformed into a serpent on the Day of Qiyamah]

Answer

Imam Ibn Khuzaymah and Imam Hakim (rahimahumallah) have recorded these words.

(Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, Hadith: 2258 and Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 3 pg. 390. Also see: As Sunanul Kubra of Imam Bayhaqi, vol. 4 pg. 84)
