حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ يَعْنِي الْمُعَلِّمَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَفَعَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْعَطِيَّةَ فَيَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدَ فِيمَا يُعْطِي وَلَدَهُ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْعَطِيَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ أَكَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَ قَاءَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فِي قَيْئِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4810
It was narrated from Tawoos that Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbaas attributed to the Prophet (PBUH) the words: "It is not permissible for a man to be given a gift and then take it back, except in the case of what a father gives to his son. The likeness of the one who gives a gift then takes it back is that Of the dog that eats its fill and vomits, then goes back to its vomit."
