3538. It was narrated from Abān, Hammām and Shu'bah, they said: "Qatādah informed us, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, from Ibn 'Abbās, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "The one who takes back his gift (Hibah) is like the one who goes back to his vomit." (Saḥīh) Hammām said: "Qatādah said: 'We do not know but that vomit is Harām.'"

Arabic text

3538 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، وَهَمَّامٌ، وَشُعْبَةُ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ» قَالَ هَمَّامٌ: وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: «وَلَا نَعْلَمُ الْقَيْءَ إِلَّا حَرَامًا»
