حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ قَزَعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ حَمَلْتُ عَلَی فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَضَاعَهُ الَّذِي کَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ مِنْهُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَإِنْ أَعْطَاکَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ کَالْکَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2623
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: I gave a horse in Allah's Cause. The person to whom it was given, did not look after it. I intended to buy it from him, thinking that he would sell it cheap. When I asked the Prophet he said, "Don't buy it, even if he gives it to you for one Dirham, as the person who takes back what he has given in charity, is like a dog that swallows back its vomit."
