The Benefits of Cutting Hair

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAW) advised Wa'il bin Hujr to cut his hair, as it was better than having long hair.

It was narrated that Wa'il bin Hujr said: "I came to the Prophet SAW 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'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، أَخُو قَبِيصَةَ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَلِي شَعْرٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ذُبَابٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِينِي فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي ‏"‏ لَمْ أَعْنِكَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
