2686. It was reported from Ibrāhīm, who said: "Aḍ-Ḍahḥāk bin Qais wanted to give Masrūq a post. 'Umārah bin 'Uqbah said to him: 'Do you want to appoint someone from among the remnants of the murderers of 'Uthmān?' Masrūq said to him: "Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated to us, and he was trustworthy according to us, in Hadīth: 'When the Prophet ﷺ wanted to kill your father, he said: "Who will look after my children?"
He replied: "The Fire." I approve for you what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ approved for you." (Da'if)

Commentary
'Uqbah bin Mu'it was an absolutely wicked person. He had crossed all limits in his enmity towards the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. It was he who had thrown the entrails of a camel on the back of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was performing Salāt. He was put to the sword in captivity while returning from Badr to Al-Madinah.
