51.14 Giving gifts by a husband to his wife, and by a wife to her husband

٥١۔١٤ باب هِبَةِ الرَّجُلِ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ لِزَوْجِهَا

[Machine] Ibrahim said, "There is a reward." And Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz said, "They shall not return." And the Prophet ﷺ sought permission from his wives to be nursed in Aisha's house. And the Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who returns a gift is like a dog that vomits and then licks it back up." And Al-Zuhri said about someone who said to his wife, "Give me some of your dowry, or all of it." Then he did not stay except for a short while before he divorced her. She returned to him and he said to her, "If she returned it out of greed, then it is not deceitful in any way." It is allowable. Allah the Almighty said, "But if you decide to return to them anything of it - then for you is fine."

قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ جَائِزَةٌ. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لاَ يَرْجِعَانِ. وَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ فِي أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ». وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فِيمَنْ قَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ هَبِي لِي بَعْضَ صَدَاقِكِ أَوْ كُلَّهُ. ثُمَّ لَمْ يَمْكُثْ إِلاَّ يَسِيرًا حَتَّى طَلَّقَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ فِيهِ قَالَ يَرُدُّ إِلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ خَلَبَهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْطَتْهُ عَنْ طِيبِ نَفْسٍ، لَيْسَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ خَدِيعَةٌ، جَازَ، قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْسًا}.

Ubaidullah bin ʿAbdullah told me that ʿAisha had said, "When the Prophet ﷺ became sick and his condition became serious, he requested his wives to allow him to be treated in my house, and they allowed him. He came out leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground. He was walking between Al-ʿAbbas and another man." 'Ubaidullah said, "When I informed Ibn ʿAbbas of what ʿAisha had said, he asked me whether I knew who was the second man whom ʿAisha had not named. I replied in the negative. He said, 'He was ʿAli bin Abi Talib."  

البخاري:٢٥٨٨حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ

عَائِشَةُ ؓ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاشْتَدَّ وَجَعُهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَزْوَاجَهُ أَنْ يُمَرَّضَ فِي بَيْتِي فَأَذِنَّ لَهُ فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ تَخُطُّ رِجْلاَهُ الأَرْضَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَ لِي وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ  

bukhari:2589Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Wuhayb > Ibn Ṭāwus from his father > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ said, "One who takes back his gift (which he has already given) is like a dog that swallows its vomit."  

البخاري:٢٥٨٩حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
