3003. Narrated Aslam: I heard 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb saying, "I gave a horse to be used for Allāh's Cause and the person who got it intended to sell it or neglected it. So, I wanted to buy it as I thought he would sell it cheap. I consulted the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Do not buy it even if for one Dirham, because he who takes back his gift is like a dog swallowing its vomit."
3003 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَابْتَاعَهُ أَوْ فَأَضَاعَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «لاَ تَشْتَرِهِ وَإِنْ بِدِرْهَمٍ، فَإِنَّ العَائِدَ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ» بَابُ الجِهَادِ بِإِذْنِ الأَبَوَيْنِ
