khuliqa l-insānu min ʿajalin sa-urīkum āyātī falā tastaʿjilūni
Man was created of haste [i.e., impatience]. I will show you My signs [i.e., vengeance], so do not impatiently urge Me.

80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
The human was created intrinsically to be hasty, and so he/she wants things to happen before their due time. The idolaters asking for the punishment is a result of that nature. O the ones seeking My punishment in haste! I shall show you exactly what you hastily seek, so there is no need to ask for it.
Man is created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten them.
Man is created of haste. I will show you My Ayât (torments, proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So ask Me not to hasten (them).
Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten.
Man is a creature of haste: soon (enough) will I show you My Signs; then ye will not ask Me to hasten them!
Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.
Man was created of haste. Soon I will show you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten.
وَيَدْعُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلْخَيْرِ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولًا
And man supplicates for evil [when angry] as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍ كَٱلْفَخَّارِ
He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.
