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.'
