The other two of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him)'s servants were Habbe and Seva', the sons of Khalid. May Allah be pleased with them.

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, through the transmission of Abu Muʿāwiya, narrated that Habbe and Seva', the sons of Khalid, said:

"We entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was repairing something. We assisted him. He said to us:

'Do not despair of provision as long as your heads are moving. For a person is born by his mother (with no hair) with red skin and without a shell. Then the Mighty and Majestic Allah provides for him.'"
