Hastiness

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficient, The Merciful

Surah 17 [Al-Israa]
9 Surely this Qur’an guides to the Way which is perfectly straight and gives the good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a magnificent reward;
10 and at the same time it gives warnings to those who do not believe in the hereafter, that We have prepared for them a painful punishment.
11 Yet man prays for evil as fervently as he ought to pray for good, and mankind is ever hasty.
12 We have made the night and the day as two signs. We enshrouded the night with darkness and gave light to the day, to enable you to seek the bounty of your Rabb, and that you may compute the years and count the numbers. Thus, We have set forth all things in detail.
13 We have fastened the fate of every man to his own neck, and on the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a book spread wide open,
14 saying: "Here is your book of deeds: read it. Today you yourself are sufficient to take your own account."

Surah 21 – 37
Man is a creature of haste (impatience). Soon I will show you My signs, therefore, you need not be impatient.


Sahih Al Bukhari
1.641
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle said, "If the supper is served start having it before praying the Maghrib prayer and do not be hasty in finishing it."

4.126
Narrated Al Bara: that a man asked him, "O Abu Umara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet was saying, ‘I am the Prophet in truth, I am the son of ‘Abdul Muttalib.’ "

4.809
Narrated Khabbab bin Al Arat: We complained to Allah’s Apostle (of the persecution inflicted on us by the infidels) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka’ba, leaning over his Burd (i.e. covering sheet). We said to him, "Would you seek help for us? Would you pray to Allah for us?" He said, "Among the nations before you a (believing) man would be put in a ditch that was dug for him, and a saw would be put over his head and he would be cut into two pieces; yet that (torture) would not make him give up his religion. His body would be combed with iron combs that would remove his flesh from the bones and nerves, yet that would not make him abandon his religion. By Allah, this religion (i.e. Islam) will prevail till a traveler from Sana (in Yemen) to Hadrarmaut will fear none but Allah, or a wolf as regards his sheep, but you (people) are hasty.

5.19 [first part]
Narrated Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-’Aliya) ‘Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Allah’s Apostle is not dead!" ‘Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah’s Apostle, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah’s Apostle), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don’t be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, ‘Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, -No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah’s Statement.: "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited: "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he
dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144)


8.77
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two Rakat and then (finished it) with Taslim, and went to a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And the hasty people went away, wondering. "Has the prayer been shortened?" Among the people there was a man whom the Prophet used to call Dhul-Yadain (the long-armed). He said, "O Allah’s Prophet! Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?" The Prophet said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has it been
shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah’s Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet got up and offered other two Rakat and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary duration or longer and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of Sahu, i.e., forgetfulness).


Fiqh-us-Sunnah
4.111c Fudalah b. ‘Ubaid reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, heard a man supplicating during prayer. He did not glorify Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "He has been hasty." Then he called the man and said either to him, or to someone else, "When any one of you prays, he should begin by glorifying and praising his Lord and then he should invoke blessings on the Prophet, peace be upon him, and after that he should supplicate Allah for anything he wishes."

By the time through the ages!
Surely mankind is in loss,
Except those who believe and do good deeds;
Exhort one another to the truth
And exhort one another to patience.
