Ibn Abbas Commentary

(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.

So await patiently the judgement of your Lord regarding them in the way that He wills and do not be like the one of the whale in terms of impatience and haste — this is Jonah peace be upon him — who called out who supplicated his Lord choking with grief filled with anguish inside the belly of the whale.
