Do the words *"AA-Hista"* in ~~Arabic~~ Farsi which means slow (or not fast) and *"hasty"* in English have the same roots?

It appears to me that a prefix of negation "a" has been used in front of hasty to give the ~~Arabic~~Farsi word.

**Edit**

On checking I found out that the word ~~A~~ Ahista is a Farsi (Persian) word ([Reference I could find](http://humanitiesunderground.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/aphorisms-twelve/)) ; So now I request for a reconsideration.
