336. hadíth

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَوَّلُ مَنْ شَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ اَلْخَلِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ إِنَّهُ ثَنَى لِحْيَتَهُ فَرَأَى طَاقَةً بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا وَقَارٌ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ اَللَّهُمَّ زِدْنِي وَقَاراً.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "The first person to have gray hair was Ibrahim (a.s), the Friend (Khaleel) of Allah (swt). When he saw a white strand in his beard, He (a.s) said: 'O’ Archangel Jibril (a.s), what is this?' Archangel Jibril (a.s) said: "'This is dignity (Waqar).' So Ibrahim (a.s) replied: 'O’ Allah (swt), increase me in dignity.'
