Sunan an-Nasai 3702 (Book 32, Hadith 15) #18316
The Gift of Giving

SUMMARY: Taking back a gift is like going back to vomit.

It was narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, from Tawus, that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The one who takes back his gift, is like the one who goes back to his vomit'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْعَائِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give generously without expecting anything in return
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of giving gifts and not taking them back. It is narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, from Tawus, that Ibn 'Abbas said that the Messenger of Allah said “The one who takes back his gift is like the one who goes back to his vomit”. This means that taking a gift back after it has been given is as disgusting as going back to vomit. We should be generous with our gifts and not take them away once they have been given away. We should also be thankful for any gifts we receive and appreciate them instead of wanting more or taking them away.
