3703. It was narrated from An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "I have given my son a slave of mine as a present." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Have you given a present to all of your children?" He said: "No." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Then take (your present) back." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3673 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، يُحَدِّثَانِهِ، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرِ: أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي غُلَامًا كَانَ لِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَارْجِعْهُ»

Commentary

In an authentic Hadîth, taking back a present after giving is forbidden. But a father may take it back from his own children.
