Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِيهِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Husayn al-Mu'allim told us, from Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from Tawus, from Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: It is not lawful for a man to give a gift and then take it back, except a father regarding what he gives his child. The likeness of one who gives a gift and then takes it back is like a dog that eats until it is full, then vomits, then returns to it.
