35. Gifts
٣٥۔ كِتَابُ الْهِبَةِ
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'No one should take back his gift except a father (taking back a gift) from his son. The one who takes back his gift is like one who goes back to his vomit.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3689)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَرْجِعُ أَحَدٌ فِي هِبَتِهِ إِلَّا وَالِدٌ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَالْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ»
[Machine] Narrated by Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas that they reported a Hadith to the Prophet ﷺ, saying, "It is not permissible for a man to give a gift."
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَرْفَعَانِ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً»
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)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ «لَا يَحِلُّ» لَمْ يَشُكَّ حُسَيْنٌ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا فِي يَحِلُّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدُ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "One who takes back his gift (which he has already given) is like a dog that swallows its vomit." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2589)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift then take it back, except from one's son.'" Tawus said: "When I was young I used to hear (the phrase), 'The one who goes back to his vomit,' but we did not realize that this was a similitude." He said: "The likeness of the one who does that is that of a dog which eats then vomits, then goes back to its vomit." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3692)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَهَبَ هِبَةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مِنْ وَلَدِهِ» قَالَ طَاوُسٌ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ وَأَنَا صَغِيرٌ «عَائِدٌ فِي قَيْئِهِ» لَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ لَهُ مَثَلًا قَالَ «فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ ثُمَّ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ»
