حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ سَأَلَ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ
حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُبَاعُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ آشْتَرِيهِ فَقَالَ لاَ تَشْتَرِهِ وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ

I gave a horse to be used in Allah's Cause, but later on I saw it being sold. I asked the Prophet ﷺ whether I could buy it. He said, "Don't buy it and don't take back your gift of charity."
