Man was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge Me.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(21:37) Man is a creature of haste (and impatience). *41 Well, you need not be impatient: I will show you My signs before long *42 '
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*41) This is not the literal translation of the Text; its purport according to the Arabic usage is: "Man is a hasty and impatient creature by his very nature." The same thing has been stated in XVII:11: "Man is very hasty and impatient."
*42) From the succeeding sentences it is obvious that "Signs" here stands for the things that have been mentioned therein-the "threat" of the scourge of Allah, Resurrection and Hell. They made fun of these, as if to say: "This man threatens us with the scourge of Allah and the torment of the Day of Resurrection if we deny him and that we shall become fuel of Hell; but nothing of the sort has befallen Ps. We are as strong as ever and nothing seems to be happening".
