سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ مُحْدَثَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَ النُّحْلُ وَ الْهِبَةُ وَ لِمَنْ وَهَبَ أَوْ نَحَلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي هِبَتِهِ حِيزَ أَوْ لَمْ يُحَزْ وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ أَعْطَى [لِلَّهِ] شَيْئاً أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazal, from Ibn Bakeyr, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who gave in charity with the charity. Is it for him that he retracts with regards to his charity?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The charity is a newly occurring thing. But rather, the donations and the gifts were for the one who gifted or donated and he could retract regarding his gift, acquired or not acquired, and it is not befitting for the one who gives anything for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> that he retracts with regards to it’.
