Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Moment By Moment : Expecting the Advent of Al-qa'im (pbuh) 15 Avoiding a Hasty Action The traditions differentiate between hastening (Isti'jal) and praying to Allah to hasten the universal government. The former is prohibited while the latter is commanded. In addition, in a number of verses in the Quran, Allah, the glorious, advices against al-Isti'jal. For instance: Man is a creature of haste. I shall soon show you My signs. So hasten not!
(21:37) In the following tradition, Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) quotes anther verse of the Quran in this regard. Abd al-Rahman Ibn Kathir narrated: On the commentary of verse, "The command of Allah came. Therefore, do not hasten it," (16:1) Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said, "It is our command/kingdom (that shall arrive). Allah has commanded that you do not hasten it until Allah supports him (i.e., al-Qa'im (PBUH)) by three: The groups of angles, the believers, and fright.
His emergence shall be like the emergence of the Apostle of Allah (PBUH&HF), and this is in His saying, the Glorious, 'Just as your Lord ordered you out of your house in truth.' (8:5)"[^1] Moreover, Abdurrahman Ibn Kathir narrated: I was with Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) when Mihzam al-Asadi came to him and asked him, "May I be sacrificed for you! When will be the time of this kingdom for which you wait? It has become too long." He (PBUH) said, "O Mihzam!
Verily those who appoint time are liars, those who hasten (al-Musta'jilun) shall perish, and those who are submissive (to Allah's orders and decrees) shall be saved."[^2] [^1] al-Ghaiba, al-Nu'mani, p. 198, Hadith 9, Ta'wil al-Ayat al-Dhahira, p. 256 from al-Mufid; Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 139, Hadith 46. [^2]al-Ghaiba, al-Tusi, p. 426, Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 103, Hadith 7; al-Ghaiba, al-Nu'mani, p. 294, Hadith 11 (similar narration); al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 368, Hadith 2.
Ibrahim Ibn Mihzam narrated from his father who said: We mentioned such and such kings in the presence of Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH). He (PBUH) said, "Indeed, people have perished due to their haste (Isti'jal) for this kingdom. Verily, Allah does not hasten in reaction to the hasty action of the servants.
For this kingdom there is a final end that will reach it."[^1] In another sermon in Nahj al-Balagha, Imam Ali (PBUH) said: "Be steady on earth, be patient in afflictions, do not move your hands and swords after the liking of your tongues, and do not make haste (Isti'jal) in what Allah has not expedited for you.
