Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to be Patient and to refrain from being Hasty like Yunus wasAllah says,فَاصْبِرْ(So wait with patience) `O Muhammad, persevere against the harm your people cause you and their rejection. For verily, Allah will give you authority over them, and make the final victory for you and your followers in this life and the Hereafter.'وَلاَ تَكُن كَصَـحِبِ الْحُوتِ(and be not like the Companion of the Fish) meaning, Dhun-Nun, who was Yunus bin Matta, when he went off angry with his people.
