Chapter 2: The Prohibition Of Taking Back One's Charity After It Has Been Accepted, Except In The Case Of What A Father Gives To A Son Or Grandson

بَاب تَحْرِيمِ الرُّجُوعِ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْهِبَةِ بَعْدَ الْقَبْضِ إِلَّا مَا وَهَبَهُ لِوَلَدِهِ وَإِنْ سَفَلَ

Sahih Muslim 1622 g

Abdullah b. Tawus reported on the authority of his father who reported from Ibn Abas (Allah be pleased with them) who reported from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 'may peace be upon him) that he said

One who gets back his gift is like a dog which vomits and then swallows that vomit.

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، بْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
