Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2793 — he gave a horse to ride in the path of Allah
وَبِهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، فَوَجَدَهُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِهِ وَقَدْ أَضَاعَهُ ، وَكَانَ قَلِيلَ الْمَالِ ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهُ ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَشْتَرِهِ ، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْعَائِدِ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he gave a horse to ride in the path of Allah (for jihad). Then he found it with that same man, who had neglected it (by not looking after it properly), and that man was poor. So he intended to buy it. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not buy it, even if he gives it to you for a single dirham, for the example of the one who takes back his gift is like that of the dog that returns to its vomit."
