وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَهُ ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ :
" لَا تَبْتَعْهُ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ " . ¤ قَالَ يَحْيَى : سُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَوَجَدَهَا مَعَ غَيْرِ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ تُبَاعُ أَيَشْتَرِيهَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ : تَرْكُهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a horse in the way of Allah, then intended to buy it back, so he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not buy it, and do not take back charity."
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: A person gave charity, then found it being sold and it was with someone other than the one to whom he had given charity; should he buy it? He said: No, it is better not to buy it in my view.
