Sahih al-Bukhari 3003

Translation

I heard ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab saying, "I gave a horse to be ridden in Allah's Cause and the person who got it intended to sell it or neglected it. So, I wanted to buy it as I thought he would sell it cheap. I consulted the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Do not buy it even if for one Dirham, because he who takes back his gift is like a dog swallowing its vomit."
