668. Ibn 'Umar narrated that 'Umar gave a horse to be used in the cause of Allāh. Then he saw it being sold, so he wanted to buy it, but the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not take back what you have given in charity." (Sahīh) Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Sahīh, and this is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge.
٦٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ «حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ» اللهِ ثُمَّ رَآهَا تُبَاعُ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ.

If a person gives something in charity to someone and the recipient wants to sell it, generally if the giver wants to buy it he will get it cheaper, therefore the Prophet ﷺ interpreted as if the giver is taking the charity back.
