A trait, which is a part of all of our bad points
One of a human being’s likings and tendencies is being hasty. Being hasty in all of our interests ruins what we do. Haste is involved in all of our bad points. I mean you are usually unable to find a bad liking, which has caused a bad deed, in which there is no haste.
“Don’t be Hasty”
For example, God says, “The human was created of haste.” (Qur’an 21: 37) God wants to say that man was created from dirt. But, He says man was created from haste. What does this mean? It means that a human’s soul has been intertwined with haste very much. In another place, God says, “And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good.” (Qur’an 17:11) What does he do? He asks for evil with the same tongue that he asks for good. It means that a person thinks he’s apparently asking for something good. But, he’s actually asking for something bad. Why does he make such a mistake that he considers a bad point to be good and asks for it? He goes towards it to gain it. Why?
“And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good, and man is ever hasty.” (Qur’an 17:11) Since he is hasty, he confuses what is good and what is bad, and doesn’t see correctly. What is to his disadvantage, he says, “This is to my favour. I want it.” He either wants it from God, or he plans to gain it in this world. Or, he asks for it from others. This is totally to your disadvantage. Why don’t you see this correctly? God says, “He doesn’t distinguish correctly due to his haste.”
When some people see the truth, they show their haste in this way that since they don’t want to accept the truth, they say, “Where are its effects? Show me.” They make themselves wretched with haste. What happens in them? He says, “If I see the Hereafter, I will believe in it.” Wait. The Hereafter will come too. “Where is death?” He wants to see death to correct himself. Wait, death will come too. For example, you tell him, “Don’t do this forbidden deed. It’ll hurt you.” He replies, “I did it, and it didn’t hurt me.” “Wait, it will hurt you.” “Do this good deed, and you’ll see its benefits.” “Where? I did it once, but I didn’t see any results.” Wait, you’ll see its good result.
The truth is that Hazrat Adam (‘a) was expelled from Heaven due to the mistake he made in being hasty. Satan made him panic. If Adam replied, “Wait, I’ll think about it and answer later,” he wouldn’t have gone towards it at all. Satan does this. He sometimes makes a person panic. What does “making one panic” mean? He says, “You’ll lose it!” Friends, I tell you. You never lose any enjoyment. Don’t worry. What is intended for you will be given to you. A poem says, “If you don’t take it, they’ll give it to you by force.” Don’t be hasty. These are Satan’s temptations. The cursed Satan said, “You’ll lose it!” He makes us panic. On the other hand, God says, “You won’t lose anything. Don’t worry. I have it. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
For example, it has been said in the traditions that when some people pray, they rush and want to go and do their jobs. So, they skip the recommended supplications afterwards. In a tradition, God says, “Where did My servant go? Why was he in haste? What did he want to gain? Shall I destroy everything he wants to gain?” God dislikes this haste. Don’t be in a haste for this world. Whenever you don’t rush, better than that will be given to you. You’ll never lose any enjoyment. Don’t worry. What is intended for you, will be given to you. “If you don’t take it, they’ll give it to you by force.”
Don’t rush.
