حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِکًا يَسْأَلُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَمَلْتُ عَلَی فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُبَاعُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْتَرِهِ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2636
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: Once I gave a horse (for riding) in Allah's Cause. Later I saw it being sold. I asked Allah's Apostle (whether I could buy it). He said, "Don't buy it, for you should not get back what you have given in charity."
