The Book of Virtue, Enjoining Good Manners, and Joining of the Ties of Kinship
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 6649
مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ فَجَعَلَ إِبْلِيسُ يُطِيفُ بِهِ يَنْظُرُ مَا هُوَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَجْوَفَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ خُلِقَ خَلْقًا لاَ يَتَمَالَكُ
mā shāʾa-Llāh an yatrukah fajaʿala iblīsu yuṭīfu bihi yanẓuru mā huwa falammā raāhu ajwafa ʿarafa annah khuliqa khalqan lā yatamālaku

The full narration
Anas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:When Allah fashioned Adam in Paradise, He left him as He liked him to leave. Then Iblis roamed round him to see what actually that was and when he found him hollow from within, he recognised that he had been created with a disposition that he would not have control over himself
