حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ کُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ رَآنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِي شَعَرٌ طَوِيلٌ فَقَالَ ذُبَابٌ ذُبَابٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَرَآنِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِکَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3636
It was narrated that wru bin Hujr said: "The Prophet saw me when I had long hair. He said: 'Bad news, bad news!' So I went away and cut it short. Then the Prophet P.B.U.H saw me and said: 'I did not mean you, but this is better."
