The Hadith of Habbah and Sawa' (RA), sons of Khalid (RA)
حديث حبة، وسواء ابني خالد
Hadith 191:1
Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, he said: Al-A’mash narrated to us, from Salam Abu Sharhabil, from Habbah and Sawa’, the two sons of Khalid, they said: We entered upon the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, while he was repairing something, so we helped him. He said: "Do not despair of provision as long as your heads are shaking (i.e., as long as you are alive), for the human being is born by his mother red, having no covering upon him, then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, provides for him."
حدثنا أبو معاوية، قال: حدثنا الأعمش، عن سلام أبي شرحبيل، عن حبة، وسواء، ابني خالد، قالا : دخلنا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يصلح شيئا فأعناه، فقال: " لا تأيسا من الرزق ما تهززت رءوسكما، فإن الإنسان تلده أمه أحمر ليس عليه قشرة، ثم يرزقه الله عز وجل "
