Answer: Impatience is the opposite of patience and it means showing impatience in obeying Allah and in refraining from sins. It also means expressing discontent at the divine decree with words or deeds.

Examples include:

. Wishing for death

. Slapping the cheeks

. Tearing the clothes

. Disheveling the hair

. Invoking death upon oneself

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The greater the tribulation is, the greater the reward will be. When Allah loves people, He tests them. So, whoever is content, for him is pleasure; and whoever is discontent, for him is displeasure." [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Mājah]
