Sunan an-Nasai 2617 (Book 23, Hadith 183) #17228
The Impermissibility of Taking Back Charity

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to take back something that has been given in charity.

It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to narrate that: 'Umar give a house in charity for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and he found it being offered for sale after that. He wanted to buy it, then he went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. The Messenger of Allah said: "Do not take back what you have given in charity".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حُجَيْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ، تَصَدَّقَ بِفَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوَجَدَهَا تُبَاعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَأْمَرَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of giving charity and how it should be done with sincerity and without expecting anything in return. It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to narrate that Umar gave a house in charity for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, but then he found it being offered for sale after that. He wanted to buy it, so he went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. The Messenger of Allah said "Do not take back what you have given in charity". This hadith teaches us an important lesson which is that when we give something away as a form of charity or sadaqah, we should do so without expecting anything in return or taking it back later on. We should give out our wealth with sincerity for the sake of Allah alone, knowing full well that whatever we give away will be rewarded by Him on the Day of Judgment.
