أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ يَزِيدَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ يَهَبُ هِبَةً يَعُودُ فِيهَا إِلَّا الْوَالِدَ» قَالَ طَاوُسٌ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ الصِّبْيَانَ يَقُولُونَ يَا عَائِدًا فِي قَيْئِهِ وَلَمْ أَشْعُرْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ ذَلِكَ مَثَلًا حَتَّى بَلَغَنَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَهَبُ الْهِبَةَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِيهَا» وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا «كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ قَيْئَهُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “It is not lawful for anyone to give a gift and then take it back, except a father.” Tawus said: I used to hear the children saying, “O you who returns to his vomit,” and I did not realize that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had struck that as a parable until it reached us that he used to say: “The likeness of the one who gives a gift and then takes it back” — and he mentioned a word whose meaning is — “is like the likeness of a dog that eats its vomit.”
