بَابُ اشْتِرَاءِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْعَوْدِ فِيهَاBuying Charity and Returning to It
Hadith 696
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عَتِيقٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي هُوَ عِنْدَهُ قَدْ أَضَاعَهُ ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ مِنْهُ ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَإِنْ أَعْطَاكَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Aslam Adawi that I heard Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I gave a fine horse to a man in the way of Allah, but that man ruined it, so I intended to buy it back from him, and I thought he would sell it cheaply. So I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Do not buy it, even if he gives it to you for one dirham, because the one who takes back his charity is like a dog that vomits and then eats its vomit."
