Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(But wait thou for your Lord's decree) be patient in conveying the message of your Lord; it is also said this means: be pleased with the decree of your Lord, (and be not) fed up and heart constricted with regard to Allah's command (like him of the fish) like Jonah the son of Mathew (Matta), (who cried out) to his Lord in the belly of the fish (in despair) tired and aggrieved.
