3691 - Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Khalanji al-Maqdisi informed us, saying: Abu Sa'id — who is the freed slave of Banu Hashim — narrated to us, from Wuhaib, who said: Ibn Tawus narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that vomits and then returns to its vomit."

Also recorded by al-Tirmidhi (1299) and (2132), and Ibn Majah (2377) via two chains from Ibn Abi Adiyy, with this chain of transmission. Al-Tirmidhi said: A hasan sahih hadith.

Also recorded by Ahmad (2119), (2120), (4810), and (5493), Abu Dawud (3539), the compiler in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" (6485), and Ibn Hibban (5123) via multiple chains from Husayn al-Mu'allim, with it.

It preceded earlier via the chain of Amir al-Ahwal, from Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, with it.

Al-Daraqutni said, as quoted by al-Zayla'i in "Nasb al-Rayah" 4/124-125: Perhaps both chains of transmission are preserved. Al-Bayhaqi said in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" 6/179: It is possible that Amr ibn Shu'ayb narrated it from both paths, for Husayn al-Mu'allim is an authority, and Amir al-Ahwal is trustworthy.

It will come later as number (3703) via the chain of Ishaq ibn Yusuf al-Azraq, from Husayn ibn Dhakwan, with it, and the hadiths following it are to be consulted.

(1) In (K), (H), and the printed edition: Wahb — this is an error, and in their margins: Wuhaib.
(2) In (M) and (H): then returns.
(3) In (R): and returns to it (meaning instead of: and returns to its vomit).
(4) A sahih hadith, and this chain is hasan. Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Khalanji is truthful, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of Banu Hashim: he is Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Ubayd. Wuhaib: he is Ibn Khalid. Ibn Tawus: he is Abdullah. The hadith is in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" as number (6486).

Also recorded by Ahmad (3013) from Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, with this chain of transmission.

Also recorded by Ahmad (2647), al-Bukhari (2589), and Muslim (1622): (8) via multiple chains from Wuhaib ibn Khalid, with it, and Ahmad's narration is similar to the hadith that follows after it.

It will come via the chain of al-Mughirah ibn Salamah al-Makhzumi, from Wuhaib ibn Khalid, with it, as number (3701), and see what precedes it.
