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.
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
'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 )
