عُتُلّʿutull (pattern فُعُلّfuʿull, adjective): harsh-tempered, ill-natured, quarrelsome — and this is one of the nine blameworthy traits enumerated in Sūrat al-Qalam. Twice in the Quran: ﴿خُذُوْهُ فَاعْتِلُوْهُ إِلٰى سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيْمِ﴾ (Ad-Dukhān 44:47) and ﴿عُتُلٍّۢ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ زَنِيْمٍ﴾ (Al-Qalam 68:13).
