Rocks are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[2:24] If you cannot do this – and you can never do this – then beware of the Hellfire, whose fuel is people and rocks; it awaits the disbelievers.

[2:74] Despite this, your hearts hardened like rocks, or even harder. For there are rocks from which rivers gush out. Others crack and release gentle streams, and other rocks cringe out of reverence for God. God is never unaware of anything you do.

[8:32] They also said, “Our god, if this is really the truth from You, then shower us with rocks from the sky, or pour upon us a painful punishment.”

[11:82] When our judgment came, we turned it upside down, and we showered it with hard, devastating rocks.

[11:83] Such rocks were designated by your Lord to strike the transgressors.

[15:74] We turned it upside down, and showered them with devastating rocks.

[17:49] They said, “After we turn into bones and fragments, we get resurrected anew?!”

[17:50] Say, “Even if you turn into rocks or iron.

[51:33] “We will shower them with rocks of clay.

[54:34] We showered them with rocks. Only Lot’s family was saved at dawn.

[66:6] O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from the Hellfire whose fuel is people and rocks. Guarding it are stern and powerful angels who never disobey God; they do whatever they are commanded to do.

[70:8] The day will come when the sky will be like molten rocks.

[89:9] Also Thamoud, who carved the rocks in their valley.
