| Donated |
Umar b. Khattab (Allah be
pleased with him) reported: I donated a pedigree horse in the path of Allah.
Its possesser made it languish. I thought that he would sell it at a cheap
price. I asked Allah's Menengsr (may peace be upon him) about it, whereupon he
said: Don't buy it and do not get back your charity, for one who gets back the
charity is like a dog who swallows its vomit.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority
of Malik b. Anas with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:
"DON'T BUY THAT EVEN IF HE GIVES YOU FOR ONE DIRHAM."
