Hazrat Abu Alia reports that Hazrat Abu Usama gave a foal as charity in the way of Allah. Later, he saw the same animal being sold (in the market). He says, I recognized it and asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I have recognized it (should I buy it?)" The Prophet forbade me from doing so.

Hazrat Umar Farooq said that if the zakat (charity) you have given reaches someone else after leaving the person you gave it to, then there is no harm in buying it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Hazrat Umar gave a horse in charity in the way of Allah and made a Mujahid ride it. Later, he saw it in the market and intended to buy it back himself. He went to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and inquired about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave it, so that you may be given its (full) reward on the Day of Judgment.

A narration similar to that of Abu Usama is also reported from Hazrat Zaid bin Haritha.

A person asked Hazrat Imran bin Husain that if, after giving charity (zakat), a portion of it returns to a person, what is the ruling regarding it? He replied that the reward will be reduced in proportion to the amount that has returned to him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade buying charity goods until they have been taken into possession.

Hazrat Tawoos was asked whether charity (sadaqah) can be purchased before taking possession of it? He disliked this.

Hazrat Mak'hool says that do not buy charity until it has been marked and taken possession of from you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mak'hool that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not buy back charity until it has been marked.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hisham that Hasan and Muhammad disliked that a person should buy back the charity he had given from his wealth, until it had been taken away from the one who received the charity.
