English translation

2384. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The likeness of one who takes back his gift is that of a dog that eats until it is full and vomits; then it goes back to its vomit and eats it again." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2384 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ خِلَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ، حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ، ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ، فَأَكَلَهُ»
