Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ibn Abi ‘Adi narrated to us, from Husayn al-Mu‘allim, from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, who said: Tawus related to me, from Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbas, who attributed the hadith to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘It is not lawful for a man to give a gift and then take it back, except a father regarding what he has given his child. The likeness of one who gives a gift and then takes it back is that of a dog that eats until it is full, vomits, and then returns to its vomit.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Al-Shafi‘i said, ‘It is not lawful for someone who gives a gift to take it back, except a father; he may take back what he gave his child.’ He cited this hadith as evidence.
