The answer

This hadith was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Bayhaqi from Amr ibn Anbasah with the wording: "Whoever turns gray in Islam, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection." And it was narrated by Ibn Asakir from Jabir, elevated [to the Prophet], and by Ibn Rahawayh, as a mawquf narration [attributed] to Umar. Al-Bazzar and Al-Tabarani narrated it from Fadalah ibn Ubayd with the addition: "Whoever wishes, let him pluck out the light."
