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.’”
4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ أَلَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ مُحْدَثَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَ النُّحْلُ وَالْهِبَةُ وَلِمَنْ وَهَبَ أَوْ نَحَلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي هِبَتِهِ حِيزَ أَوْ لَمْ يُحَزْ وَلا يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ أَعْطَى [للهِ] شَيْئاً أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهِ.
