Hadith on Generosity: I have never seen anyone more generous than Aisha and Asma, the mothers of the believers

Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair reported: I have not seen anyone more generous than Aisha and Asma, although their generosity was different. Aisha would gather things and after they had been collected, she would share them; as for Asma, should would not leave anything for tomorrow.

[Al-Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Number 280, Sahih]

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ‏ مَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ أَجْوَدَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَسْمَاءَ وَجُودُهُمَا مُخْتَلِفٌ أَمَّا عَائِشَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَجْمَعُ الشَّيْءَ إِلَى الشَّيْءِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَهَا قَسَمَتْ وَأَمَّا أَسْمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ لاَ تُمْسِكُ شَيْئًا لِغَدٍ

Hadith on Gifts: Taking back charity is like a dog returning to its vomit

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported: I donated a seasoned horse in the cause of Allah, but its owner made it languish. I thought that he might sell it for a cheap price. I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, about it and he said, “Do not buy it and do not take back your charity, for one who takes back his charity is like the dog who returns to his vomit.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 12, Number 3949]

عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عَتِيقٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَضَاعَهُ صَاحِبُهُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ بَائِعُهُ بِرُخْصٍ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَبْتَعْهُ وَلَا تَعُدْ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ فَإِنَّ الْعَائِدَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْئِهِ
