The answer

The narration reported from Abu Darda’ concerning the virtue of well-being and gratitude for it over affliction and patience with it, and that the Messenger loves well-being, is a fabricated due to the weakness of Ibrahim ibn al-Bara’ ibn al-Nadr. The correct view is that this saying originates from Mutarrif ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Shikhkhir, and its chain of narration is sound. Furthermore, a (good) hadith has been reported from Abu Hurayrah stating that "The grateful eater is like the patient fasting person."
