Sunan Ibn Majah 4165 (Book 37, Hadith 66) #33521
Provision from Allah

SUMMARY: Allah will provide for us as long as we are alive and have the ability to work.

It was narrated that Habbah and Sawa’, the two daughters of Khalid, said: "We entered upon the Prophet when he was doing something, so we helped him with it. Then he said: 'Do not despair of provision so long as your heads are still moving, for a person’s mother bears him red with raw skin, then Allah provides for him.’"
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 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

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about trusting in Allah's provision for us. It was narrated by Habbah and Sawa, the two daughters of Khalid who said that they were helping Prophet Muhammad with something when he said not to despair of provision so long as their heads were still moving. He was referring to how a mother bears her child red with raw skin but then Allah provides for them. This means that even if our situation looks bleak now, we should trust in Allah's promise that He will provide for us if we keep trying and working hard. We should never give up hope because no matter how difficult things may seem at first, there is always a way out if we put our trust in God and keep striving towards our goals.
