Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 33:379

Ghundar narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Ibn Abi Layla, who said: Abu al-Darda' wrote to Maslamah ibn Mukhallad while he was the governor of Egypt: "To proceed: Indeed, when a servant acts in obedience to Allah, Allah loves him. And when Allah loves him, He makes him beloved to His creation. And when He hates him, He makes him hated to His creation."
