The virtue of reaching old ages:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said,
‘No one reaches forty years in Islam except that Allah protects him from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is fifty, Allah makes easy his reckoning. When he reaches sixty, Allah grants him repentance. And when he reaches seventy, Allah loves him and the inhabitants of the heavens love him. And when he reaches eighty, Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches ninety, Allah forgives his past and future sins, he is named ‘the prisoner of Allah on earth’ and is granted intercession (for forgiveness) for his family.’
[This Hadith is reported by several Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) and is recorded in many Hadith collections with slight variations in the wording]
[Musnad Ahmad, vol.2 pg.89 and vol.3 pg.218
]
[Musnad Bazzar, see Kashful Astar, Hadith: 3587-3589]
[Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Bayhaqi, Hadith: 650-652
]
Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani (may Allah have mercy on him) has mentioned seven Sahabah that have reported it.

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) has mentioned that the chain in Bayhaqi is the best as all its narrators are reliable, besides one who is supported by another narrator anyway.
[Ma’rifatul Khisalil Mukaffirah, pg. 108]
Hafiz Ibn ‘Asakir (may Allah have mercy on him) has graded the Hadith as sound (Hasan)
