The word(s) "wait" appears 48 time(s) in 37 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(31) Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them (who did evil)? Allah brought utter destruction on them, and similar (fates await) those who reject Allah.

(32) Do they then only wait for the Hour,- that it should come on them of a sudden? But already have come some tokens thereof, and when it (actually) is on them, how can they benefit then by their admonition?

(33) Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

(34) Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!"

(35) Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth,

(36) One Day will the Hypocrites- men and women - say to the Believers: "wait for us! Let us borrow (a Light) from your Light!" It will be said: "Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!

(37) So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.
