أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حُجَيْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ کَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ تَصَدَّقَ بِفَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوَجَدَهَا تُبَاعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْمَرَهُ فِي ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2623
It was narrated from Salim bin ‘Abdullah that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to narrate that ‘Umar gave a horse in charity for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and he found it being offered for sale after that. He wanted to buy it, then he went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and asked him about that. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Do not take back what you have given in charity.” (Sahih).
