Home Hadith Hadith 35274
Malik related to me from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn from Abu Ghatafan
ibn Tarif al-Muriyi that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If someone gives a
gift to strengthen ties with a relative or as sadaqa, he cannot have
it returned. If some one, however, gives a gift seeking by it favour
or reward, he has his gift and can reclaim it if he does not have
satisfaction from it."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 58
← Previous Hadith
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our
community about some one who gives a gift not intending a reward is
that he calls witnesses to it. It is affirmed for the one to whom it
has been given unless the giver dies before the one to whom it was
given receives the gift."

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "The way of doing things in
our community about which there is no dispute, is that if a man gives
sadaqa to his son - sadaqa which the son takes possession of or which
is in the father's keeping and the father has had his sadaqa
witnessed, he cannot take back any of it because he cannot reclaim any
sadaqa."
