Sunan an-Nasa'i 2616
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَآهَا تُبَاعُ فَأَرَادَ شِرَاءَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَعْرِضْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ " .
Harun ibn Ishaq reported: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Mamar, from al-Zuhri, from Salim ibn Abd Allah, from his father, from Umar, that he gave a horse in the path of Allah. He saw it being sold and wanted to buy it. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Do not interfere with your charity.
Translation notes
This version omits the later dog-and-vomit comparison found in another route and ends with the prohibition against buying back the charitable gift.
