Musnad Ahmad 384 (Book 2, Hadith 285) #34060
The Unacceptability of Taking Back Charity

SUMMARY: Charity should not be taken back, as it is like going back to vomit.

It was narrated that Umar. (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah said".The likeness of the one who goes back his charity is that of one who goes back to his vomit".
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of charity and how it should not be taken back. It is narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab that the Prophet Muhammad said that taking back charity is similar to going back to one's vomit. This means that it is a disgusting act and should not be done. It teaches us the importance of giving charity and how we should never take it back once we have given it away, no matter what the circumstances are. We must remember that Allah will reward us for our good deeds, so we must always strive to do good in order to receive His blessings.
