(6). 3297. Abū Ishāq narrated from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "Abū Bakr [may Allāh be pleased with him] said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! You have become gray.' He said: 'I have gone gray from (Sūrat) Hūd, Al-Wāqi'ah, Al-Mursalāt and 'Amma Yatasa'lūn[1] and Idhāsh-Shamsu Kuwwirat.'"[2] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it as a narration of Ibn 'Abbās except through this route. 'Alī bin Ṣāliḥ reported this Hadīth from Abū Ishāq, from Abū Juḥaifah similarly. Something about this has been reported in Mursal form from Abū Ishāq, from Abū Maisarah. [Abū Bakr bin 'Ayyāsh reported a Hadīth similar to that of Ṣaibān from Abū Ishāq, (but) from Abū Ishāq, from 'Ikrimah from the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not mention "from Ibn 'Abbās" in it. Hāshim bin Al-Walīd Al-Harawī narrated that to us (he said): Abū Bakr bin 'Ayyāsh narrated to us].

Commentary
The conditions and horrors of the Last Day are mentioned in these Sūrah; also the history of the past generations and the punishment inflicted on them has been mentioned. The horrors of the Last Day and the painful punishment of the Hell-dwellers would make the Prophet ﷺ worried and concerned about his nation, which made his hair turn gray.
