A narration regarding the nafs

Question Please provide the reference for the following narration: Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) asked the Sahabah (radiyallahu 'anhum): "What do you think of a companion who, if you treat him nicely, feed him, clothe him, still he would throw you in all sorts of trouble and if you insult him, and keep him hungry and naked he would do what is good for you?"
