(TA.) It is said in the Ḳur [xxi. 38], خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ, meaning, it is said, Man is composed of haste; (O;) so says Fr, and in like manner says Aboo-Is-ḥáḳ; (T, TA;) to denote the excess of this attribute in him: (T, O, TA:) or, accord. to Th, (TA,) the phrase is inverted, the meaning being, haste is created from man; (Mṣb, TA;) but IJ disapproves this explanation, and also another which will be mentioned in what follows.
