English translation
1299. 'Amr bin Shu'aib narrated that he heard Tāwus narrating from Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbās, and they both narrated this Hadīth from the Prophet ﷺ. (a Hadīth similar to no. 1298) (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās, [may Allāh be pleased with them], is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. This Hadīth is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. They said whoever gives a gift to a closely related relative, then he is not to take back his gift. And whoever gives a gift to someone other than a close relative, then he may take it back as long as it has not been reciprocated. This is the view of Ath-Thawrī. Ash-Shāfi'i said: "It is not lawful for any that has given a gift to take it back except for what the father gave to his son." Ash-Shāfi'i argued with the Hadīth of 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar from the Prophet ﷺ: "It is not lawful for anyone that has given a gift to take it back, except for a father who gives something to his son."
