Man is a creature of haste: soon (enough) will I show you My Signs; then ye will not ask Me to hasten them!
khuliqa al’insaanu min ‘ajalin sa’uriikum ’aayaatii falaa tasta‘jiluuni
(Man) i.e. Adam (is made of haste) he is hasty; it is also said that this means: man, al-Nadr Ibn al-Harth, was created hasty, for he wanted chastisement to be hastened for him. (I shall show you My portents) I shall show you the signs of My divine Oneness in the horizons; it is also said that this means: I will show the signs of My punishment of you through the sword on the Day of Badr, (but ask Me not to hasten) My chastisement before its appointed time.
