I gave a horse to be used in Allah's Cause, but later on I saw it being sold. I asked the Prophet ﷺ whether I could buy it. He said, "Don't buy it and don't take back your gift of charity."
عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُبَاعُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ آشْتَرِيهِ فَقَالَ لاَ تَشْتَرِهِ وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ

Once I gave a horse (for riding) in Allah's Cause. Later I saw it being sold. I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ (whether I could buy it). He said, "Don't buy it, for you should not get back what you have given in charity."
عُمَرُ ؓ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُبَاعُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ تَشْتَرِ وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ رَآهَا تُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ يَا عُمَرُ
Umar gave a horse to be used in the cause of Allah. Then he saw it being sold, so he wanted to buy it, but the Prophet said: "Do not take back what you have given in charity."
أَنَّهُ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ رَآهَا تُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a horse to carry some one in the way of Allah, and then he wished to buy it back. So he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, and he said, "Do not buy or take back your sadaqa."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَهُ فَسَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ تَبْتَعْهُ وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
[Machine] Omar ibn Al-Khattab rode a horse in the path of Allah and found it being sold, so he asked the Prophet ﷺ about its price. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not consider it as part of your charity."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَوَجَدَهَا تُبَاعُ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ شِرَائِهَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
Umar gave a horse to be used in the cause of Allah. Then he saw it being sold, so he wanted to buy it, but the Prophet said: "Do not take back what you have given in charity." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 668)
أَنَّ عُمَرَ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ رَآهَا تُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
[Machine] That Umar ibn Al-Khattab gave charity to a man with a horse in the path of Allah, then he found Umar selling it. So he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I gave charity to so-and-so with a horse, and I found him selling it. Should I buy it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not buy it and do not count it as part of your charity."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِفَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَوَجَدَهُ عُمَرُ يَبِيعُهَا فَأَتَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ بِفَرَسٍ وَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُهُ يَبِيعُهَا أَفَأَشْتَرِيهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَشْتَرِهَا وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ»
Once I gave a horse (for riding) in Allah's Cause. Later I saw it being sold. I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ (whether I could buy it). He said, "Don't buy it, for you should not get back what you have given in charity." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2636)
عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُبَاعُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَشْتَرِيهِ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
[Machine] Umair ibn al-Khattab rode on a horse in the way of Allah and saw something from its produce being sold. He wanted to buy it, so he asked the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not buy it, nor include it in your charity."
حَمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَرَأَى شَيْئًا مِنْ نِتَاجِهِ يُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ شِرَاءَهُ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ
