What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Let not one of you be like the bad slave who, if he feared, would not work; nor like the bad laborer who, if he was not given his wages, would not work"?

What the questioner mentioned is not a Hadith مرفوع (traced back) to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Rather, it was narrated by Abu Nu'aym in "Hilyat al-Awliya" from Wahb ibn Munabbih, from some wise men, and it appears to be from the Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian traditions).
