24/1. Chapter:
حديث عُمَرَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَأَضَاعَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، فَأَرَدْت أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَبِيعُهُ بِرخْصٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَشْتَرِ، وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ وَإِنْ أَعْطَاكَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ، فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ.
Once I gave a horse in Allâh's Cause (in charity) but that person did not take care of it. I intended to buy it, as I thought he would sell it at a low price. So, I asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم about it. He said, "Neither buy, nor take back your Sadaqa (charity) which you have given, even if it is given to you for one Dirham, for he who takes back his Sadaqa is like the one who swallows his own vomit." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 567, Vol. 2 )
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حَمَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَوَجَدَهُ يُبَاعُ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَهُ، فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَبْتَعْهُ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ.
'Umar gave a horse to be used in Allâh's Cause, but later on he found it being sold. So, he intended to buy it and asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم who said, "Don't buy it and don't take back your gift of charity." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 215, Vol. 4 )
24/2. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "One who takes back his gift (which he has already given) is like a dog that swallows its vomit." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 762, Vol. 3)
24/3. Chapter:
حديث النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي هذَا غُلَامًا، فَقَالَ: أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَارْجِعْهُ.
Narrated An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr رضي الله عنه that his father took him to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "I have given this son of mine a slave." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked, "Have you given all your sons the like?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Take back your gift then." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 759, Vol. 3)
حديث النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: أَعْطَانِي أَبِي عَطِيَّةً، فَقَالَتْ عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ، لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ ابْنِي مِنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ رَوَاحَةَ عَطِيَّةً، فَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: أَعْطَيْتَ سَائِرَ وَلَدِكَ مِثْلَ هذَا قَالَ: لَا قَالَ فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ، فَرَدَّ عَطِيَّتَهُ.
I heard An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr رضي الله عنه on the pulpit saying, "My father gave me a gift but 'Amra bint Rawâha (my mother) said that she would not agree to it unless he made Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as a witness to it. So, my father went to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, 'O Allâh's Messenger! I have given a gift to my son from 'Amra bint Rawâha, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it.'Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم asked, 'Have you given (the like of it) to all of your sons?' He replied in the negative. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'Be afraid of Allâh and be just to your children.' My father then returned and took back his gift.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 760, Vol. 3)
24/4. Chapter:
[1] (Ch.4) This kind of gift is also called Ruqba which is derived from the Arabic verb meaning ‘to wait’; because both the giver and the person given to used to wait for the death of each other so that the house would belong to him permanently. ( Fath Al-Bârî , Vol. 6, P. 166)
حديث جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالْعُمْرَى، أنَّهَا لِمَنْ وُهِبَتْ لَهُ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave the verdict that ‘Umra is for the one to whom it is presented. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 793, Vol. 3)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: الْعُمْرَى جَائِزَةٌ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “ ‘Umra is permissible.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 794, Vol. 3)
