Book 24: Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat) · Hadith 90

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَأَضَاعَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَبِيعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَشْتَرِ وَلاَ تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ، وَإِنْ أَعْطَاكَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ، فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالْعَائِدِ فِي قَيْئِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated `Umar:Once I gave a horse in Allah's Cause (in charity) but that person did not take care of it. I intended to buy it, as I thought he would sell it at a low price. So, I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about it. He said, "Neither buy, nor take back your alms which you have given, even if the seller were willing to sell it for one Dirham, for he who takes back his alms is like the one who swallows his own vomit

Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Ek baar maine Allah ki raah mein ek ghoda sadqa diya magar us shaks ne uski dekhbhal nahi ki. Maine ise khareedne ka iraada kiya, ye soch kar ke woh use kam qeemat mein bechega. Isliye maine Nabi se iske baare mein pucha. Aap ne farmaya: "Na khareedo, na apna diya hua sadqa wapas lo, chahe bechne wala ise ek Dirham mein bechne ko taiyaar ho, kyunke jo apna sadqa wapas leta hai, woh us shaks jaisa hai jo apni khud ki ulti nigal jaata hai."
