Hadith 36349

Malik related to me from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn from Abu Ghatafanibn Tarif al-Muriyi that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If someone gives agift to strengthen ties with a relative or as sadaqa, he cannot haveit returned. If some one, however, gives a gift seeking by it favouror reward, he has his gift and can reclaim it if he does not havesatisfaction from it."Yahya said that he heard Malik say,"The generally agreed-on way of doing things in our community is thatif the gift is returned to the one who gave it for recompense, and itsvalue has been either increased or decreased, the one to whom it hasbeen given gives the owner its value on the day he received it."
