الكبرى للنسائي:٦٥٠٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا يَقُولُ

حَدَّثَنَا بَعْضُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَهَبُ فَيَرْجِعُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ فَيَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ قَيْئَهُ»

“The likeness of one who takes back his gift is that of a dog that eats until it is full and vomits; then it goes back to its vomit and eats it again.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2384)
