حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسْتَرِدُّ مَا وَهَبَ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَقِيءُ فَيَأْكُلُ قَيْئَهُ فَإِذَا اسْتَرَدَّ الْوَاهِبُ فَلْيُوَقَّفْ فَلْيُعَرَّفْ بِمَا اسْتَرَدَّ ثُمَّ لِيُدْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ مَا وَهَبَ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As

English translation
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The similitude of the one who takes back what he gifted is like that of a dog which vomits and then it eats vomit. When a donor seeks to take back (his gift), it should be made known and he informed why he sought to take it back. Then whatever he donated should be returned to him
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘আমর (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ যে ব্যক্তির নিজের দান করা বস্তু ফেরত নেয় সে এমন কুকুরের মতো, যে বমি করে পুনরায় তা ভক্ষণ করে। দাতা দানকৃত বস্তু ফেরত চাইলে গ্রহীতা খতিয়ে দেখবে এবং জেনে নিবে, সে কি জন্য তার দানকৃত বস্তু ফেরত চাইছে। কারণ জানা গেলে তা ফেরত দিবে।
