أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ أَخُو قَبِيصَةَ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِي شَعْرٌ فَقَالَ ذُبَابٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِينِي فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي لَمْ أَعْنِکَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5067
It was narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: “I came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and I had hair. He said: ‘This is bad,’ and I thought he meant me, so I cut my hair then I came to him. He said to me: ‘I didn’t mean you, but this is better.” (Sahih)
