Musnad Ahmad 2647

Translation

✧ "We used to say, as boys, that the one who returns to his vomit is like a dog. We did not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given an example of that until Ibn Abbas narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The one who returns to his vomit is like a dog.'"
