Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) both narrate as a marfu’ hadith that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“It is not permissible for any Muslim to take back something after giving it as a gift, except for what he gives to his children (he may take that back). The example of the one who takes back his gift (the narrator is in doubt, or perhaps these are the words) the example of the one who takes back his donation is like that of a dog who, after vomiting, licks up its own vomit.”

Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "No person can take back his gift, except a father who can take back what he has given to his child. The one who takes back his gift is like a dog that licks up its own vomit." This narration is also transmitted with another chain, though there are some differences in wording. And with one chain, this narration is transmitted as a mursal hadith, in which the words are: "A father can take back his gift (from his child)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever gives something as a gift, then he has more right to it, as long as he has not received any compensation for it." This narration is not authentically established as a marfu' (attributed to the Prophet); rather, the correct view is that it is transmitted as a mawquf narration from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) through Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man has more right to his gift as long as he has not received any compensation for it."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The giver of a gift has more right to it as long as he has not received anything in exchange for it."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A person has more right to his gift as long as he has not received any compensation for it."

Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a man gives a gift to a relative, he should not take it back." In narrating this tradition, the narrator named Abdullah bin Ja'far is unique.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever gives something as a gift, then wants to take it back, he is more entitled to it as long as he has not received any compensation for it. However, his example is like that of a dog who licks up its own vomit."

Sayyiduna Tariq bin Abdullah Muharibi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) twice. Once, I saw him in the market of Dhu’l-Majaz. I was present there with my goods, which I had placed there for sale. In the same way, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by there, and he was wearing a red cloak and was proclaiming in a loud voice:“O people! Say La ilaha illallah and you will attain success.”A man was following behind him holding a stone, and he had severely wounded him. That man was saying: O people! Do not listen to him because he is lying. So I asked: Who is this person? The people replied: He is a young man from the descendants of Abdul Muttalib. I asked: Who is this person following him and throwing stones at him? The people replied: This is his uncle, Abdul Uzza. (The narrator says) This was Abu Lahab. Then, when Islam became dominant and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) migrated to Madinah Munawwarah, we came from Rabdhah and the southern areas of Rabdhah with some riders and camped near Madinah Munawwarah. There was also a woman with us. The narrator says: Once, while we were sitting, a person came to us who was wearing two white garments. He greeted us with salam, and we replied to him. He asked: Where have you come from? We replied: From Rabdhah and the southern areas of Rabdhah. The narrator says that we also had red camels with us. He asked: Will you sell your camels? We replied: Yes. He asked: For how much? We said: For such and such measure of dates. He did not ask us to reduce the price. Then he took hold of the camel’s head and went into Madinah and disappeared from our sight. So we began to blame each other, saying: You people have given your camel to a person whom you do not even know. Then the woman (who was with us) said: Do not blame each other. I have seen something in that person’s face (which proves) that he will not disgrace you. I have not seen anyone’s face more resembling the full moon than his. Then, when the time for ‘Isha came, a person came to us and said: As-salamu ‘alaykum, I am the messenger of Allah’s Messenger who has come to you. He has instructed you to eat these dates to your fill and to measure them fully. The narrator says: We ate to our fill and then measured them fully. The next day, when we entered the city of Madinah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing on the pulpit delivering a sermon to the people. He was saying:“The giving hand is the upper hand, and you should begin spending on the one under your care: your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, and your relatives in order of closeness.”Then an Ansari stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the Banu Thalabah, who killed so-and-so in the time of ignorance; please let us take retribution from them. So the Prophet raised both his hands until we saw the whiteness of his armpits. He said:“A father will not pay blood money on behalf of his children.”
