Sunan An-Nasa`i : 3722
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَهَبَ هِبَةً ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مِنْ وَلَدِهِ ، قَالَ طَاوُسٌ: كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ وَأَنَا صَغِيرٌ عَائِدٌ فِي قَيْئِهِ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ لَهُ مَثَلًا، قَالَ: فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ يَأْكُلُ، ثُمَّ يَقِيءُ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ .
It was narrated that Tawus said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift then take it back, except from one's son.' Tawus said: When I was young I used to hear (the phrase), 'The one who goes back to his vomit,' but we did not realize that this was a similitude. He said: The likeness of the one who does that is that of a dog which eats then vomits, then goes back to its vomit.
