English translation

[4163] 1 - (1620) It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam, from his father, that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "I donated a fine horse (to be ridden in Jihād) in the cause of Allāh, and its owner neglected it. I thought that he would sell it for a cheap price, and I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about that. He said: 'Do not buy it, and do not take back your charity, for the one who takes back his charity is like the dog that returns to its vomit.'"

Arabic text

1 - (1620) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عَتِيقٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَأَضَاعَهُ صَاحِبُهُ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَبْتَعْهُ، وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ، فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ»،
