Narrated Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri:
Anas bin Malik said, “When the emigrants came Medina, they had nothing whereas the Ansar had
land and property. The Ansar gave them their land on condition that the emigrants would give them
half the yearly yield and work on the land and provide the necessaries for cultivation.” His (i.e. Anas’s
mother who was also the mother of ‘Abdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah’ Apostle
who gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman) who was also the mother of Usama bin Zaid.
When the Prophet finished from the fighting against the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina,
the emigrants returned to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given them. The Prophet also
returned to Anas’s mother the date-pallms. Allah’s Apostle gave Um Aiman other trees from his
garden in lieu of the old gift.

Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I gave a horse in Allah’s Cause. The person to whom it was given, did not look after it. I intended to
buy it from him, thinking that he would sell it cheap. When I asked the Prophet he said, “Don’t buy it,
even if he gives it to you for one Dirham, as the person who takes back what he has given in charity,
is like a dog that swallows back its vomit.”
