On the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "We are not to be compared to an evil example. The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that returns to its vomit."

4 - Chapter: Mentioning the disagreement regarding Ṭāwūs concerning the one who takes back his gift:

3701 - Zakariyyā ibn Yaḥyā informed me, saying: Isḥāq narrated to us, saying: al-Makhzūmī narrated to us, saying: Wuhaib narrated to us, saying: ʿAbdullāh ibn Ṭāwūs narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that vomits, then returns to its vomit."

3702 - Aḥmad ibn Ḥarb informed us, saying: Abū Muʿāwiya narrated to us, from Ḥajjāj, from Abū al-Zubair, from Ṭāwūs, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who takes back his gift is like the one who returns to his vomit."

============================================
And it has preceded before him via the chain of Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūba, from Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, with it, and see what follows it.

(1) The word "returns" is from (R) and (M).
(2) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Ḥibbān: he is Ibn Mūsā al-Marwazī, and ʿAbdullāh: he is Ibn al-Mubārak, and Khālid: he is Ibn Mihrān al-Ḥadhdhā'. The hadith is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (6495).
And it has preceded in the two hadiths before it via the chain of Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, from ʿIkrima, with it.
(3) In (R): "in it" instead of "in its vomit."
(4) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Zakariyyā ibn Yaḥyā: he is Ibn Iyās al-Sijzī, and Isḥāq: he is Ibn Rāhawayh, and al-Makhzūmī: he is al-Mughīra ibn Salama Abū Hishām, and Wuhaib: he is Ibn Khālid, and Ṭāwūs (the father of ʿAbdullāh): he is Ibn Kaysān. The hadith is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (6496).
And Muslim (1622): (8) narrated it from Isḥāq ibn Rāhawayh, with this chain of transmission.
And it has preceded via the chain of Abū Saʿīd, the freed slave of the Banū Hāshim, from Wuhaib ibn Khālid, with it, under number (3691).
(5) An authentic hadith, but this chain of transmission is weak. Ḥajjāj — he is Ibn Arṭāh — is a mudallis who used ambiguous wording in transmission, and likewise Abū al-Zubair — he is Muḥammad ibn Muslim ibn Tadrus — is a mudallis, and he did not explicitly state that he heard it directly. However, both have been followed by other narrators. =
