Surah Maryam — Ayah 4 (19:4)

English translation (Saheeh International)

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled¹ with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

1. - Literally, "ignited." The spread of white hair throughout the head is likened to that of fire in the bush.

Brief commentary

He said: “My Lord, indeed my bones have become weak, the white hairs on my head have increased, and I was not unsuccessful in my supplicating You. In fact, every time I supplicated You, You accepted.
