Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ "
Translation
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Ours is not a bad example: The one who takes back his gift is like the dog who takes back his vomit."
[He said:] On this topic, there is the narration from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: "It is not lawful for anyone that has given a gift to take it back, except for a father who gives something to his son."
