Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27457

Muhammad ibn Bashar narrated to us that, Ibn Abi Adi narrated to us, on the authority of Husayn al-Mu’allim, on the authority of Amr ibn Shuaib, that he heard Tawus speaking on the authority of Ibn Omar and Ibn Abbas conveyed the hadith to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with this hadith. Abu Issa said the hadith of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both. A hasan and authentic hadith. This hadith is acted upon according to some people of knowledge among the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others. They said: Whoever gives a gift He who has a mahram relative has no right to take it back, and whoever gives a gift to someone other than a mahram relative may take it back unless he returns from it. This is the opinion of Al-Thawri. Al-Shafi’i said: It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift and take it back, except the father in what he gives to his child. He protested. Al-Shafi’i, according to the hadith of Abdullah bin Omar, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “It is not permissible for anyone to give a gift and then take it back.” Except for the father in what he gives to his child.”
