Al-Ḥadīd (English: Iron; Arabic: الحديد) is the 57th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 29 verses.[2] The chapter takes its name from that word which appears in the 25th verse.[3] This is an Al-Musabbihat surah because it begins with the glorification of Allah.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation, it is a Medinan chapter, which means it is believed to have been revealed in Medina rather than Mecca.
