سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- 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.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Bukayr Ahmad ibn al- Hassan ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who gives charity; if he can take it back. He (the Imam) said, ‘Charity is new. There were gifts and grants. One who provides a gift or a grant is able to take back the grant or gift, regardless of whether the recipient has taken it in his possession or not; but it is not proper to take back what one gives to Allah.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
