Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Umar bin Al-Khattab gave a horse in charity in Allah’s Cause and later he saw it being sold in the
market and intended to purchase it. Then he went to the Prophet and asked his permission. The
Prophet said, “Do not take back what you have given in charity.” For this reason, Ibn ‘Umar never
purchased the things which he had given in charity, and in case he had purchased something (un –
knowingly) he would give it in charity again.

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 (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.”

Narrated Abu Ma’bad,:
(the slave of Ibn Abbas) Allah’s Apostle said to Muadh when he sent him to Yemen, “You will go to
the people of the Scripture. So, when you reach there, invite them to testify that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, tell them
that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in each day and night. And if they obey you in that tell
them that Allah has made it obligatory on them to pay the Zakat which will be taken from the rich
among them and given to the poor among them. If they obey you in that, then avoid taking the best
of their possessions, and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen
between his invocation and Allah.”

Narrated Abu Huraira
The Prophet said, “A man from Bani Israel asked someone from Bani Israel to give him a loan of
one thousand Dinars and the later gave it to him. The debtor went on a voyage (when the time for
the payment of the debt became due) but he did not find a boat, so he took a piece of wood and bored
it and put 1000 diners in it and threw it into the sea. The creditor went out and took the piece of
wood to his family to be used as fire-wood.” (See Hadith No. 488 B, Vol. 3). And the Prophet narrated
the narration (and said), “When he sawed the wood, he found his money.”
