حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِعَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ

حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَأَضَاعَهُ صَاحِبُهُ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَاعَهُ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ، فَقُلْتُ: حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَا تَبْتَعْهُ، وَإِنْ أَعْطَاكَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ، كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ.

✧ I gave a horse in the cause of God, but its owner neglected it. I wanted to buy it back, and I thought he would sell it cheaply. So I said, 'Let me ask the Messenger of God ﷺ first.' He said, 'Do not buy it, even if he gives it to you for a dirham, for the one who takes back his charity is like a dog that returns to its vomit.'
