`Utul, and moreover Zanim.
`Utul means one who is cruel, harsh, strong, greedy and stingy.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Al-Harithah bin Wahb that the Messenger of Allah said,
أَلَا أُنَبِّيُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ ضَعِيفٍ مُتَضَعِّفٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَاَبَرَّهُ
أَلَا أُنَبِّيُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ النَّارِ كُلُّ عُتُلَ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِر
Shall I inform you of the people of Paradise?
(They will be) very weak and oppressed person. When he swears by Allah, he fulfills his oath.
Shall I inform you of the people of the Fire?
Every `Utul (cruel person), Jawwaz and arrogant person.
Al-Waki` said,
"It (`Utul) is every Jawwaz, Ja`zariand arrogant person."
Both Al-Bukhari and Muslim recorded this in their Two Sahihs, as well as the rest of the Group, except for Abu Dawud. All of its routes of transmission are by way of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and Shu`bah who both reported it from Sa`id bin Khalid.
The scholars of Arabic language have said that
Ja`zari means rude and harsh, while Jawwaz means greedy and stingy.
Concerning the word Zanim, Al-Bukhari recorded from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning the Ayah,
عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
(`Utul (cruel), and moreover Zanim.)
"A man from the Quraysh who stands out among them like the sheep that has had a piece of its ear cut off."
The meaning of this is that he is famous for his evil just as a sheep that has a piece of its ear cut off stands out among its sister sheep.
In the Arabic language the Zanim is a person who is adopted among a group of people (i.e., he is not truly of them).
Ibn Jarir and others among the Imams have said this.
Concerning Allah's statement,
أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ
