العجلة: طلب الشيء وتحريه قبل أوانه، وهو من مقتضى الشهوة، فلذلك صارت مذمومة في عامة القرآن حتى قيل: «العجلة من الشيطان» . قال تعالى: سأريكم آياتي فلا تستعجلون
قوله تعالى: ﴿أعجلتم أمر ربكم﴾ [الأعراف: 150] أي سبقتموه، وهو كقوله: ﴿وما أعجلك عن وقومك﴾ [طه: 83] أي كيف سبقتهم؟ يقال: أعجلني فعجلت له، واستعجلته: تقدمته فحملته على العجلة. وأصل العجلة: طلب الشيء وتحريه قبل أوانه، وهو مقتضى الشهوة، فلذلك صارت مذمومة في عامة القرآن، حتى قيل: العجلة من الشيطان. قوله: ﴿وعجلت إليك رب…
Say; "For me, I (work)
On a clear Sign from my Lord,
But ye reject Him. What ye
Would see hastened, is not
In my power. The Command
Rests with none but God:
He declares the Truth,
And He is the best of judges."
Say: "If what ye would see
Hastened were in my power,
The matter would be settled
At once between you and me.
But God knoweth best
Those who do wrong."
They ask thee to hasten on
The evil in preference to the good:
Yet have come to pass,
Before them, (many) exemplary
Punishments! But verily
Thy Lord is full of forgiveness
For mankind for their wrong-doing,
And verily thy Lord
Is (also) strict in punishment.
(Inevitable) cometh (to pass)
The Command of God:
Seek ye not then
To hasten it: glory to Him,
And far is He above
Having the partners
They ascribe unto Him!
Yet they ask thee
To hasten on the Punishment!
But God will not fail
In His promise. Verily
A Day in the sight of thy Lord
Is like a thousand years
Of your reckoning.
They ask thee
To hasten on the Punishment
(For them): had it not been
For a term (of respite)
Appointed, the Punishment
Would certainly have come
To them: and it will
Certainly reach them,—
Of a sudden, while they
Perceive not!
Only those wish to
Hasten it who believe not
In it: those who believe
Hold it in awe,
And know that it is
The Truth. Behold, verily
Those that dispute concerning
The Hour are far astray.
Then, when they saw
The (Penalty in the shape of)
A cloud traversing the sky,
Coming to meet their valleys,
They said, "This cloud
Will give us rain!"
"Nay, it is the (calamity)
Ye were asking to be
Hastened!—a wind
Wherein is a Grievous Penalty!
Therefore patiently persevere,
As did (all) apostles
Of inflexible purpose;
And be in no haste
About the (Unbelievers). On the Day
That they see the (Punishment)
Promised them, (it will be)
As if they had not
Tarried more than an hour
In a single day. (Thine
But) to proclaim the Message:
But shall any be destroyed
Except those who transgress?
For the wrong-doers,
Their portion is like
Unto the portion of their
Fellows (of earlier generations):
Then let them not ask Me
To hasten (that portion)!
