Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَلاَّمِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَبِي شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ حَبَّةَ، وَسَوَاءٍ، ابْنَىْ خَالِدٍ قَالاَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ يُعَالِجُ شَيْئًا فَأَعَنَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَيْأَسَا مِنَ الرِّزْقِ مَا تَهَزَّزَتْ رُءُوسُكُمَا فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ تَلِدُهُ أُمُّهُ أَحْمَرَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قِشْرٌ ثُمَّ يَرْزُقُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, from Sallam ibn Shurahbil Abu Shurahbil, from Habba and Sawa’, the two sons of Khalid, who said: We entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was working on something, and we helped him. He said: “Do not despair of provision as long as your heads are moving. A human being is born red and with no covering on his skin; then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, provides for him.”
