Chapter: Taking Back A Gift (Al-Hibah).

باب الرُّجُوعِ فِي الْهِبَةِ

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar ; Abdullah Ibn Abbas: 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.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ عَطِيَّةً أَوْ يَهَبَ هِبَةً فَيَرْجِعَ فِيهَا ، إِلَّا الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ فَإِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ

" .
