A marid (Arabic: مارد mārid) is a type of devil (shayṭān) in Islamic tradition.[1] The Arabic word, meaning "rebellious," is applied to such supernatural beings.
Hans Wehr's A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic defines marid as a "demon" or "giant."[2] The term is directly mentioned once in the Quran in Surat As-Saffat (Q37:7).[3] They are also identified with the Persian devan.[4]
