Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I gave a horse to a man to ride in the way of Allah, but that man spoiled the horse. So I wished to buy it back, and I also thought that he would sell it at a cheap price. Therefore, I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this, and he said: Do not take back your charity, even if he gives it to you for one dirham, because the example of one who takes back what he has given in charity is like the one who vomits and then licks it up.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had given a horse in the way of Allah for riding. Then he saw that the same horse was being sold. He wanted to buy his horse and asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not buy it, and do not take back your charity in this way.

Narrated Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who takes back his gift is like a dog that vomits and then licks it up.

Narrated by Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "I have given this son of mine a slave as a gift." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "Have you given a similar slave to each of your other sons?" He replied, "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Then take it back (from him)."

Hazrat Aamir narrated that I heard Hazrat Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was delivering a sermon on the pulpit, saying: My father gave me a gift, so Amrah bint Rawahah (Nu’man’s mother) said that I will not be pleased until you make the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a witness to this. So (presenting himself before the Prophet), he said: I have given a gift to my son from Amrah bint Rawahah, but she said that first I should make you a witness to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Have you given a similar gift to all your children? He replied: No. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fear Allah and maintain justice among your children. So he returned and took back the gift.

Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a verdict regarding 'Umra that it belongs to the one to whom it is gifted.
