"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.'"
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلِي شَعْرٌ فَقَالَ ذُبَابٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِينِي فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي لَمْ أَعْنِكَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
"I came to the Prophet [SAW] 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.'"
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلِي جُمَّةٌ قَالَ ذُبَابٌ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَعْنِينِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْنِكَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ
[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with some hair, and he said, "A fly." So I went and took some of my hair and came back to him, and he asked me why I took some of my hair. I said, "I heard you saying 'fly' and I thought you were criticizing me." He said, "I did not criticize you, that's just how it is."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلِي شَعْرٌ فَقَالَ «ذُبَابُ» فَذَهَبْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي «لِمَ أَخَذْتَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ؟» قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ ذُبَابُ فَظَنَنْتُكَ تُعْيبُنِي فَقَالَ «مَا عَيَّبْتُكَ وَهَكَذَا أَحْسَنُ»
"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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5052)
