32. Gifts
٣٢۔ كِتَابُ الْهِبَاتِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not permissible for the giver to take back what he has given as a gift except for a parent from their child. This is an exception and it has been narrated as a connected (authentic) hadith."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِوَاهِبٍ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيمَا وَهَبَ إِلَّا الْوَالِدُ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ مَوْصُولًا
The Prophet ﷺ said: It is not lawful for a man to make a donation or give a gift and then take it back, except a father regarding what he gives his child. One who gives a gift and then takes it back is like a dog which eats and vomits when it is full, then returns to its vomit. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3539)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدُ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا مَثَلُ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِيهِ
[Machine] "Regarding the Prophet ﷺ, he said: 'The one who returns to his gift is like a dog that returns to its vomit.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "The one who returns a gift is like the one who returns what he has vomited." Isma'il added: "Hammam said: Qatada said: 'I do not know anything about vomiting except that it is forbidden.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ زَادَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ هَمَّامٌ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْقَيْءَ إِلَّا حَرَامًا
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who takes back his gift is like a dog swallowing its own vomit, and we (believers) should not act according to this bad example." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6975)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ
