سورة مريم

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّی وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّی [He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened]; the meaning of "wahn" is that they have become weak. وَلَمْ أَکُن بِدُعَائِکَ رَبِّ شَقِیًّا [and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee]; meaning my prayer before You has not been without result.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Previously people did not experience old age upon themselves, and the first person who observed it was Ibrahim (peace be upon him), who saw a white hair in his beard. He said to Allah: "My Lord, what is this?" Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: "This is dignity and gravity." He said: "My Lord, increase me in dignity and gravity."

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): When morning came, Ibrahim (peace be upon him) saw one white hair in his beard and said: "Praise be to Allah who has brought me to this age, and I did not disobey Allah for the blink of an eye."
