Hadith No.: 3133

3133 - (ق) عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَوَجَدَهُ يُبَاعُ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَهُ، فَسأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم فَقَالَ: (لاَ تَبْتَعْهُ، وَلاَ تَعُدْ في صَدَقَتِكَ) .

‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: 'I donated a horse for Jihad. The man who had the horse neglected it, so I wanted to buy it back, thinking that he would sell it for a cheap price. I asked the Prophet about this, and he said: "Do not buy it back and do not take back your charity, even if he gives it to you for one dirham, for the one who takes back his gift is like the one who takes back his vomit."
