2618. It was narrated from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh that 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar used to narrate that 'Umar gave a horse in charity for the sake of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, and he found it being offered for sale after that. He wanted to buy it, then he went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and asked him about that. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Do not take back what you have given in charity." (Sahîh)
2617 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حُجَيْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ، تَصَدَّقَ بِفَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَوَجَدَهَا تُبَاعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْمَرَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ»

One may not recover or take back one's given charity by the dint of one's power or effort, for instance, by purchasing it or by retraction. However, if it comes back to him unstriven, for instance, the recipient of the charity dies and the charity becomes his heir, and he inherits the same thing (once given in charity), then there is no harm in it.
