أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي طَاوُسٌ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَرْفَعَانِ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي عَطِيَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا کَمَثَلِ الْکَلْبِ أَکَلَ حَتَّی إِذَا شَبِعَ قَائَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3725
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbas, who attributed the Hadith to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم : “It is not permissible for a man to give a gift and then take it back except a father taking back what he gave to his son. The likeness of the one who gives a gift then takes it back is that of the dog which eats until it is full, then it vomits, and goes back to its vomit.” (Hasan)
