Abdullah bin Tawus reported,

When we were children we used to say, "The one who takes back his gift is like a dog that vomits and then returns to its vomit," but we did not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had coined this as a parable until Ibn Abbas reported to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one who takes back his gift is like a dog that vomits and then returns to its vomit."

Ahmad 2647

Sahih

حدثنا عفان حدثنا وهيب حدثنا

عبد الله بن طاوس عن أبيه قال

كنا نقول ونحن صبيان العائد في هبته كالكلب يقيء ثم يعود في قيئه ولم نعلم أن رسول الله ﷺ ضرب في ذلك مثلا حتى حدثنا ابن عباس أن رسول الله ﷺ قال العائد في هبته كالكلب يقيء ثم يعود في قيئه
