حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الأَزْرَقُ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُكْتِبُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَالْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَرَجَعَ فِي قَيْئِهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو .

Ahmad ibn Mani‘ narrated to us; Ishaq ibn Yusuf al-Azraq narrated to us; Husayn al-Maktab narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, from Tawus, from Ibn ‘Umar: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘The one who gives a gift and then takes it back is like a dog that eats until full, vomits, then returns to its vomit.’ Abu ‘Isa said: There are reports on this topic from Ibn ‘Abbas and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The text presents the dog comparison as a simile. Abu ‘Isa’s related reports are kept distinct from the chain of this narration.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو .
The Arabic adds reports on this topic from Ibn ‘Abbas and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr; the English witness includes this compiler note.
Should those reports remain identified as related reports rather than additional chain transmitters? They are presented as reports on the topic.
