Chapter 37 The disdain of having much hair
باب كَرَاهِيَةِ كَثْرَةِ الشَّعَرِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 3636

It was
narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) saw me
when
I had long hair. He said: ‘Bad news, bad news!’ So I went away
and cut it short. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me and said: ‘I did
not
mean you, but this is better.’”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ رَآنِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَلِي شَعَرٌ طَوِيلٌ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ ذُبَابٌ ذُبَابٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَرَآنِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِكَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
