The answer

This story was mentioned by Al-Ghazali in "Ihya' Ulum al-Din," narrated from Wahib ibn al-Ward, and Al-Ghazali did not attribute it to a specific book. Al-Manawi then transmitted it from him in "Fayd al-Qadir." The authenticity of attributing this statement has not been established, but its general meaning is correct.
