Shackles are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[7:157] “(4) follow the messenger, the gentile prophet (Muhammad), whom they find written in their Torah and Gospel. He exhorts them to be righteous, enjoins them from evil, allows for them all good food, and prohibits that which is bad, and unloads the burdens and the shackles imposed upon them. Those who believe in him, respect him, support him, and follow the light that came with him are the successful ones.”

[13:5] If you ever wonder, the real wonder is their saying: “After we turn into dust, do we get recreated anew?” These are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord. These are the ones who have incurred shackles around their necks. These are the ones who have incurred Hell, wherein they abide forever.

[14:49] And you will see the guilty on that day chained in shackles.

[34:33] The followers will say to their leaders, “It was you who schemed night and day, then commanded us to be unappreciative of God, and to set up idols to rank with Him.” They will be ridden with remorse, when they see the retribution, for we will place shackles around the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they not justly requited for what they did?

[36:8] For we place around their necks shackles, up to their chins. Consequently, they become locked in their disbelief.

[40:71] The shackles will be around their necks, and the chains will be used to drag them.

[76:4] We prepared for the disbelievers chains, shackles, and a blazing Hell.
