336 - 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.
Hadith.336 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The first person to have gray hair was Ibrahim (as), the Friend (Khaleel) of Allah (swt). When he saw a white strand in his beard, He (as) said: 'O’ Archangel Jibril (as), what is this?' Archangel Jibril (as) said: "'This is dignity (Waqar).' So Ibrahim (as) replied: 'O’ Allah (swt), increase me in dignity.'
