59) Chapter: Can one buy the thing which he has given in charity?
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) (p.b.u.h) 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."
59) باب هَلْ يَشْتَرِي صَدَقَتَهُ
وَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ صَدَقَتَهُ غَيْرُهُ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى الْمُتَصَدِّقَ خَاصَّةً عَنِ الشِّرَاءِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ غَيْرَهُ.
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 "
