Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ، الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ، كَالْكَلْبِ يَرْجِعُ فِي قَيْئِهِ.

Abu Nu‘aym narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub, from ‘Ikrima, from Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said: We do not set a bad example. The one who takes back his gift is like a dog returning to its vomit.
