Mishkat al-Masabih #3809
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ قَتْلَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ قَالَ: مَنْ لِلصِّبْيَةِ؟ قَالَ: «النَّار» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Ibn Mas'ud told that when God’s Messenger intended to kill ‘Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait he asked who would look after the children, and he replied that hell would.
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
