Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَلَّامٍ أَبِي شُرَحْبِيلَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَبَّةَ وَسَوَاءَ ابْنَيْ خَالِدٍ يَقُولَانِ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا أَوْ يَبْنِي بِنَاءً فَأَعَنَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَا لَنَا وَقَالَ لَا تَأْيَسَا مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا تَهَزَّزَتْ رُءُوسُكُمَا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ تَلِدُهُ أُمُّهُ أَحْمَرَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قِشْرَةٌ ثُمَّ يُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ وَيَرْزُقُهُ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us: al-A'mash narrated to us from Sallam Abu Shurahbil, who said: I heard Habbah and Sawa', the two sons of Khalid, say: We came to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was doing some work or building a structure, and we helped him with it. When he finished, he prayed for us and said: Do not despair of goodness as long as your heads shake; man is born of his mother red, having no skin, then God gives him and provides for him.
