حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ السُّوَائِيُّ هُوَ أَخُو قَبِيصَةَ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ خُوَارٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِي شَعْرٌ طَوِيلٌ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذُبَابٌ ذُبَابٌ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَجَزَزْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِکَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4190
Narrated Wail ibn Hujr: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and I had long hair. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me, he said: Evil, evil! He said: I then returned and cut them off. I then came to him in the morning. He said (to me): I did not intend to do evil to you. This is much better.
