English translation

5069. It was narrated that Wâ'il bin Hujr said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and I had long hair. He said: 'It is not good,' and I thought he meant me, so I went and cut my hair. He said: 'I did not mean you, but this is better.'" (Saḥih)

Arabic text

5066 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَاسِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِي جُمَّةٌ، قَالَ ذُبَابٌ: وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِينِي، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِكَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ»
