[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "Whoever builds my lifetime, it is a reward for the one who built it, and whoever waits for my retribution, it is a reward for the one who waited for it, and whoever gives a gift and then returns to it, he is like one who vomits and then goes back to it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أُعْمِرَ عُمْرَى فَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُعْمِرَهَا جَائِزَةٌ وَمَنْ أَرْقَبَ رُقْبَى فَهِيَ لِمَنْ أُرْقِبَهَا جَائِزَةٌ وَمَنْ وَهَبَهِبَةً ثُمَّ عَادَ فِيهَا فَهُوَ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ
