Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدَهُ يُبَاعُ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَهُ، فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " لاَ تَبْتَعْهُ، وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ ".
Translation
'Abdullah ibn Yusuf informed us; Malik informed us from Nafi', from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a horse in the way of Allah and later found it being sold. He intended to buy it, so he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said, ‘Do not buy it, and do not take back your charity.’
