Answer

(Fatwa: 686/682=N)

Masturbation is a major sin and haram:

قال اللہ تعالی: والذین ھم لفروجھم حافظون، الی فمن ابتغی وراء ذلک فأولئک ھم العادون (الآیۃ) فی ھذہ الآیۃ دلیل علی ان الاستمناء بالید حرام و ھو قول العلماء۔ قال ابن جریج سألت عطاء فقال مکروہ۔ سمعت أن قوماً یحشرون و أیدیھم حبالی و أظن أنھم ھؤلاء ۔ وعن سیعد بن جبیر قال: عذب أمۃ کانوا یبعثون بمذاکیرھم (تفسیر مظھری: 6/365)

وکذا الاستمناء بالکف وان کرہ تحریما لحدیث ناکح الید ملعون (الدر المختار: 3/371)

We did not see the Hadith you mentioned. Yet, in the above mentioned Arabic text, it is said that the masturbators will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment with pregnant hands. If you can furnish the reference of the book where you read it, then we can do further research.
