بَابُ النَّهْي أَنْ يَرْجِعَ الرَّجُلُ فِي هِيَتِهِ إِلَّا الْوَالِدُ
Chapter: Prohibition of taking back a gift except for a parent
Hadith 6289
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no bad example for us; the one who takes back his gift is like a dog that starts licking its own vomit.
Hadith 6290
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ رَفَعَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْعَطِيَّةَ فَيَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدُ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not lawful for a man to give a gift and then take it back, except for a father regarding what he gives to his child as a gift. The example of a person who gives a gift and then takes it back is like a dog that eats something, and when it is full, it vomits, and then starts licking its vomit.

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَصَدَّقُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالَّذِي يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ قَيْئَهُ

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ الْقَيْئَ إِلَّا حَرَامًا
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who takes back a gift is like a person who starts licking his own vomit. Imam Qatadah said: In my opinion, vomit is forbidden.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No person can take back what he has given as a gift, except a father who can take back from his child.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُوسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُ وَنَحْنُ صِبْيَانٌ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ وَلَمْ نَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَرَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ مَثَلًا حَتَّى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
It is narrated from Imam Tawoos, he says: When we were children, we used to say that the one who takes back his gift is like the dog who vomits and then starts licking it, and we did not know that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had given any example about this, until one day Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, narrated before us that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The one who takes back his gift is like the dog who vomits and then starts licking it.
Hadith 6296
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ فَأَكَلَهُ

When the giver of a gift demands its return, he should be made to stand and asked the reason for taking it back, and then the thing he had given as a gift should be returned to him.
